Everyone keeps asking if the hot/humid weather we are experiencing right now is comparable to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. My answer is always the same, "No it's much more humid there."
Although I can't comprehend it (which is impossible till you're in it), I did a search just to find out the difference in temps. The results are posted below. Notice that although the temperature for Pennsylvania and Santo Domingo are similar, the humidity is much higher for D.R. thus making you sweat your guts out. Notice also the difference in dewpoint which is what actually measures the accuracy of the humidity - at least according to my understanding.
