@Oozenet @BillySmith mine was 40-44, but I also live somewhere very humid. It’s currently 34 out, but feels like 40 🥵

It's the difference between the WetBulb Temperature and the DryBulb Temperature.

Appropedia has some idea's:

@BillySmith @Oozenet I just recently heard about it, but I can’t find any wet bulb readings for my area. All I know is it’s hot, it’s humid, and going outside is like walking in to a wet, wool blanket.

@kataklysm @Oozenet

It might be worth checking if your local meteorological service measures them.

Also, as the USA media thrives on click-bait headlines, just asking about those levels of temperature will get them to generate headlines publicising this. :D

@BillySmith @Oozenet that’s a good idea. Although heat and humidity is far from unusual in Florida. The news doesn’t start freaking out until we top 100 F (just under 38 C).
