Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (SP)

Mangalore, Mar 24: The maximum temperature of 38 degree Celsius was recorded in both Sullia and Puttur in Dakshina Kannada district. The city and the Bajpe registered maximum temperature level of 34 degree Celsius on Wednesday March 23. The minimum temperature all over the district hovered around 25 degree Celsius. This level of temperature was experienced last year only during April.

The rising temperatures and humidity levels have already been creating problems for the people in general, and the residents have been seen not choosing to move out during afternoons. In both Subrahmanya and Suillia, cloudy weather was experienced on Wednesday evening. The people hope that some rains will appear and relieve them of the scorching heat. However, hot climate normally follows rains.

    Humans are very sensitive to humidity, as the skin relies on the air to get rid of moisture. The process of sweating is your body's attempt to keep cool and maintain its current temperature. If the air is at 100-percent relative humidity, sweat will not evaporate into the air. As a result, we feel much hotter than the actual temperature when the relative humidity is high. If the relative humidity is low, we can feel much cooler than the actual temperature because our sweat evaporates easily, cooling ¬us off. For example, if the air temperature is 75 degrees Fahrenheit (24 degrees Celsius) and the relative humidity is zero percent, the air temperature feels like 69 degrees Fahrenheit (21 C) to our bodies. If the air temperature is 75 degrees Fahrenheit (24 C) and the relative humidity is 100 percent, we feel like it's 80 degrees (27 C) out.
    People tend to feel most comfortable at a relative humidity of about 45 percent. Humidifiers and dehumidifiers help to keep indoor humidity at a comfortable level.
