How hot does it feel in Columbus, Georgia right now?
In Columbus, Georgia, it feels like 96° out there — air temperature 90°, humidity 54%.
What the air actually feels like across the Southeast. Map: CNAW 2, built from NOAA data on a USGS base.
The thermometer reads 90 degrees, but with a dew point of 71 the air carries enough moisture that it works on the body like 96.
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 71, 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.
The wind is out of the east at about 7 miles an hour, so the air over us is coming in from the Atlantic side of Georgia.
