humidity

The idea of a driver-cooling system was intimated after the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix, when heat and humidity left several drivers on the brink of collapse.

The plants were monitored for several weeks under controlled temperature, humidity, and lighting meant to simulate space environments.

For the second week in a row, forecasts show high humidity and a chance for showers over the next several days, as more tropical moisture is pulled into the area from the Pacific.

The opening days of the championships were dominated by discussion around the conditions the athletes had to contend with - particularly in the endurance events - as temperatures exceeding 30C were accompanied by stifling humidity above 90%.

My only defense is this: it’s nearly impossible to spot summer’s end while simmering in our signature brew of heat and humidity, juggling house repairs all the while.
