What "hot" feels like
Imagine you're wearing a blanket made of sunshine. That's what being hot is like, your body feels like it's being wrapped in warmth, and sometimes even sweat starts to appear.
What "humid" feels like
Now think about stepping into a big puddle with your bare feet on a sunny day. The air around you feels thick, like it’s hard to breathe, and your skin might feel sticky or damp, that's humidity. It's as if the air itself is holding onto water droplets.
When both happen at the same time, it’s like being wrapped in a blanket made of sunshine and stepping into a puddle with your feet. You can't wait for the clouds to roll in and bring some cool relief!
Examples
- A child feels sticky and tired on a summer day.
- The air feels heavy, making it harder to breathe.
- You can't sweat properly because the air is already full of moisture.
