2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Humidity was/is 39% in NYC today. [View all]LiberalFighter
(53,544 posts)101. Some people just don't consider that factors that may be involved.

I then need to do any combination of drinking water, water on the wrists and/or back of the neck, sitting down, moving around, and other. The degree also depends on the type of clothing I am wearing. Loose versus constraining.
