I’m from Georgia and thought I knew heat😭MAN

sisca :

the humidity make it worse. for those who said it was nothing,come here then experience it yourself.

donotdrinkandswim :

Why did you play stock footage of japan halfway through, and even a Japanese subway announcement

lauren :

The danger in this weather is the extreme humidity that comes along with it. At a certain point with the humidity, it’s almost impossible for your sweat to evaporate to efficiently cool off your body. That is why this is such a national emergency

Skylene 💗 :

Not even about how high the number is anymore. It genuinely feels so suffocating during the day that I only go out in the evening 🫩

CamCoVa :

I think this is the opportunity to respectfully ask NYT to integrate the metric system on all of its content, including the nyt app. As a foreign subscriber it would be a nice touch.

manuujaraa :

Y’all it’s the extreme humidity not so much the temperature. The humidity is worse than all of USA even Hawaii. It’s suffocating, and no breeze. Do not visit Korea in the summer!
