What is the Humidex?

Today was a hot one! By 9am is was 29 degrees and by 3pm we topped out at 33 degrees. As hot as it was, the heat was not the big story today, it was the humidity. You may have heard me talking about a "humidex" value in the 40's today or that it actually feels over 44 degrees today (which it did). If you've ever asked yourself why does humidity make it feel warmer or "what the heck is the humidex?" Well, hopefully this video helps to answer those questions...
