Ross GradyI hate a lot of things in this world, and “Feels Like” temperature malarkey is one of them.
I understand what they think they are trying to convey — essentially, it is humid and sunny at the same time, so when I step outside it’s gonna be gross.
But I have lived in the Southern USA for 45 years. If it is July, it is gonna be sunny and humid as fuck. So it “feels like” exactly what it always feels like.
There is clearly some referent that goes completely unmentioned, and it drives me up the fuckin wall. It “feels like” 89 WHERE?
Like, 82 in July with 77% humidity in North Carolina feels like exactly that. Are you trying to tell me that it feels like 89 in someplace else, where it is less humid generally? Like, I dunno, Columbus, Ohio? In what world is that useful to me?
