95 degrees in the Philippines... the humidity is intense there. I took a flight from Manila to Panay and when we stepped out of the plane, you feel like you entered into a steam room.
For me it was Luxor in Egypt.
130 Degrees Fahrenheit I think it was. I've been to India as well and the heat there really doesn't compare to the Middle East in the dead of summer.

While we're on this topic, i heard that Thailand is probably the hottest country year round. Is this true? Factor in the humidity there too.
Dude temperatures that a lot of time reach 127... Humidity doesn't really matter at 120+ that kind of heat hits you like a sledgehammer.
At least when the humidity is low, your body can cool itself. When the humidity is high, sweating doesn't work. I've never been in 120 degree heat, but like I said earlier it was 110 when I was in Arizona and I didn't find it particularly uncomfortable. It's more comfortable than 95 degrees with 95% humidity, that's for sure.

Why do people always exaggerate the humidity of wherever they are so much?
On the most miserable hot and humid days you can imagine, the dewpoint will be 75 up to maybe 80 degrees. That translates to roughly 55-65% humidity at 90 degrees. 100% humidity at anything above 90 degrees probably doesn't occur in the United States, except maybe the bottom of a mineshaft.

Death Valley 120+ with AC
Hottest working was 80 miles from a helicopter drop at 109 for 3 days.
Try imagining a little harder.
The humidity here in New Jersey was 96% last weekend when it was 90+ degrees. So your post was incorrect.

As a kid in Brawley and El Centro California there were many days in the 12x's +.
I recall seeing a 127* on 2 different displays in the late 1950's.
There was a heatwave in Southeast Asia that brought Cam Rahn Bay, Vietnam up to 130 and it lasted a week.
The planes on the flight line were nearly too hot to touch for working on them.

I think your numbers might be in error, that's a dewpoint of about 90. Which actually has ocurred in the U.S. but not very often, it seems to be near the record:
