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. :)
