High humidity is what creates a higher wet bulb temperature. A 95°F wet bulb temperature is achieved when it’s 95°F outside with 100% humidity. The lower the humidity, the higher the temperature needs to be to hit the 95°F wet bulb temperature.
Wet bulb temperature matters most to animals with sweat glands, like humans. In higher humidity, it’s more difficult for our bodies to cool through sweat evaporation.
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
