    Damn really? I didn’t know that. I guess it does make sense with all the water front.

      Might be different in places like the praries, but where I am, the humidity can add another 5°C-10°C on those sweltering hot days.

      And its not necessarily being by a big body of water that is a factor in humidex values. In fact, being by a big body of water tends to have a moderating effect on the weather.

        Winnipeg here, we get serious humidity index increases… and nasty wind chills. Last summer was as hot and humid as I can remember.

        Fall is nice. :)
