Question

Which one do u prefer? 40C/104F at 25% humidity or 32C/90F at 65% humidity ...?

Answer 1

90 but it would be nice to have more humidity

Answer 2

40C at 25% humidity is easier for your built-in evaporative cooling system to deal with.  I've played lots of tennis in both conditions.

Edit:  Hey BaseballStud_8, had to chuckle at your miserable experience with Houston humidity, since I've lived here for so many years.  Definitely prefer those mid-50s summer dewpoints in Midland.  Good for watching the RockHounds.

Answer 3

They both sound great, but I'd probably go for the higher temperature.  I don't believe 90F/65% computes to a dewpoint of 80F, closer to 76F.

Answer 4

65% humidity at 90F would be a dewpoint over 80F.  That's rarely happens, but I have felt 80F dewpoint before in Houston and it's AWFUL.  

I was in Montana last summer when they were getting to 108F.  That was MUCH better to cope with than 90F and super humid. It's like swimming as you walk, and you can't breathe at all.

Answer 5

I live in NC where the summers can be brutal with humidity.  I've got to go with 104F with less humidity.
