It feels like 99° out there

How hot does it feel in Columbus, Georgia right now?

In Columbus, Georgia, it feels like 99° out there — air temperature 95°, humidity 39%.

What the air actually feels like across the Southeast
What the air actually feels like across the Southeast. Map: CNAW 2, built from NOAA data on a USGS base.

The thermometer reads 95 degrees, but with a dew point of 66 the air carries enough moisture that it works on the body like 99.

Why it is doing this

The temperature and what the body feels are two different numbers, and almost all of the gap between them is moisture.

The dew point is 66, the sticky end of comfortable. It is also the floor the overnight low works against: the air will not usually fall much below it.

The sky is nearly clear, so the sun does its full work by day and the ground radiates that heat straight back out after dark.
