    In freedom units, as viewed from New Mexico, where humidity is typically under 50% and often below 10% in the summer:

    > 100 = hot or “sweltering” just because I like the word.

    90 - 100 = hot

    80 - 90 = warm

    70 - 80 = comfortable

    60 - 70 = cool

    50 - 60 = chilly

    35 - 50 = cold

    < 35 = freezing

      I reserve sweltering for when you can see the heat waves in the air. It is a great word. New mexico is a weird one though, being high desert, right? Ya’ll actually get a wildly cold winter, don’t you?
