I can tell you from experience, when it's 115C in the shade and over
50% humidity you don't go out without your shirt on - particularly in
the sun. I found a light cotton T shirt was "comfortable" but not as
good as a light loose fitting cotton shirt. that let the air move. You
stayed in the shade as much as possible, and tried to find a spot with
a breeze. With high humidity sweating didn't help - and the only way
you got any evaporation was with a breeze.
That late October 1973 afternoon at 115 in the shade was a "cool
comfortable" day compared to the 2 weeks before. (when the RH was
occaisionally actually over 100% - and yes, that IS possible!!!) The
humidity is highly localized close to the falls -a HUGE humidifier.
The rains come in November
