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.

See I don't really understand how the humidity works. According to the weather network, Halifax has not hit 30 degrees all summer in 2008. How much does the humidity factor increase how it "feels"?
