As for the Mixed Maniac's 33C with 31% humidity, that's positively
salubrious, cool enough to play tennis or 18 holes in the afternoon,
so dry that the sweat disappears before you feel it dripping from
your brow.

And you develop hyperthermia and pass out without any warning.

I've been playing soccer and ultimate frisbee - two sports that involve
a lot of running - two or three times a week since moving to Malaysia,
where the conditions in the sun are tougher what TOliver is describing
(typically 32C and 80-90% humidity).

I have never seen anyone collapse from the heat, except when they just
got off the plane from US/Europe and came straight out to play that same
day, or at an all-day tournament when someone kept playing and playing
without stopping to drink enough water.

Under normal conditions a healthy acclimated person can exert him- or
herself in this weather without issue. Do get a little stinky though.
