I used to be one of those Calgarians who said "my god it's 32 degrees I can't believe how hot it is!"

Then I moved to the US eastern seaboard for a bit and then Halifax and really found out what hot and the humidex really meant. I'd trade a 33 degree Calgary day for the the 30+ degree, dripping humidity weather we've had in Halifax this summer. Heck I empty out over 30 litres a day from our little house dehumidifier right now (thank god the temp has been more reasonable than it was in July). When I lived on the US eastern seaboard it often wouldn't cool down below 30 degrees at night so you never got a break from the heat.
