High humidity
Any thoughts or tips on traveling (cycling/camping) in high humidity, other than perhaps avoid hottest times of the day?
I have a trip planned to visit Suriname and Guyana. Looking the climate it is just a bit more humid than I normally see in Austin - https://weatherspark.com/compare/y/2...ibo-and-Austin August temperatures in a narrower range, but higher dew points as measured by "muggy", "oppressive", "miserable" factors corresponding to dew points of 65F/70F and 75F.
When cycling South America, my first week in Colombia was at similar factors. In general I tried to get on the road as early as possible - cycling in (relatively) cooler times. By mid-day I typically was in an air-conditioned hotel. In Suriname, I am less confident on finding as many indoor lodgings but otherwise would start off with similar approach.
Anything else I should think of?
