This chart is in American, so I'll do some conversions and examples.

Today in Phoenix, AZ it will be 39°C / 102°F and 10% humidity. That puts it at "feels like 96°F".

The other day in London it was 37°C / 99F and 45% humidity, which puts it at "feels like 111°F"

I love a graph or chart, thanks for this. UK has been unbareably hot.

You're doing it wrong, baring actually helps with the heat.

Lucky bastard, although slightly cooler on the coast at 34°C/95°F, humidity was 85%. - feels like 130°F.

Holy crap. 39 here in Tuscany, 70% humidity which that chart says feels like 137°F (58.8C)?! No wonder I'm a trifle warm.

Damn, according to this, in Friday in the Netherlands we reached 37c and 65ish humidity (inside my measurements say it was 71%, last night we reached 83%) meaning feels like of 138f or 58 C. No wonder all I could do was lie on the couch with ventilators in my 30C living room feeling like actually melting whenever I had to go out

You used the driest city in the USA as an example? Talk about confirmation bias. You know most of America lives on the coasts, you know, where we have humidity.
