In lower Alabama between Mobile and Pensacola F, 20 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. I have three temp/humidity gages, and they have similar readings within a degree, so fairly accurate. I have the temp & Hum reading to determine the Heat Index, the real air feelings. The Internet has many web sites for info. Pray for winter.
July 7, 2024 Readings: Temp 115, Humidity 80%, no Heat Index as the HI was off the chart.
2nd readings at 3:30pm: Temp 122, Humidity 26% Heat Index 145.4 degs.
For interest a web page to determine the Heat Index, just enter the Temp and Humidity and the HI answer will appear, it does the calculation. The site: Meteorological Conversions and Calculations

If interested in the formula:
HI = -42.379 + 2.04901523T + 10.14333127R - 0.22475541TR - 6.83783x10-3T2
- 5.481717x10-2R2 + 1.22874x10-3T2R + 8.5282x10-4TR2 - 1.99x10-6T2R2
where T = ambient dry bulb temperature (°F)
R = relative humidity (integer percentage)
