2am in Columbia, SC, and it is 82 degrees with 72% humidity outside ("feels like 88").

But what bugs me when I step outside now is the faint sensation of things touching my skin. Was that a bug? A grass stalk that I don't see when I look down? A flying insect? And the wasp buzzing near the door so that I have to find a good moment to open the door and dash inside without it following me in.

Looking at some weather maps, I see Baltimore has us potentially beat in this time zone, with 85, "feels like 90", albeit only 59% humidity.

Phoenix, AZ, where it is 11:10pm now, is at 100 degrees, "feels like 103" and 28% humidity.

It would be interesting to be able to step from one room to another and another, to compare the difference between those temps & humidity levels.

I don't know for sure about whether WU uses them, but there are far fewer "official" WBGT measuring sites than traditional shade-heat + humidity stations. It needs three different thermometers and a formula.

Here's what National Weather Service has (at my location): https://digital.weather.gov/?zoom=7&lat=35.28787&lon=-79.36779&layers=F000BTTTFTT®ion=0&element=8&mxmz=true&barbs=false&subl=TTFFFF&units=english&wunits=nautical&coords=latlon&tunits=localt


Also, looks like you should stay inside today if you cant!
