Hello from Indonesia So this one particular situation that makes me wonder what did you call it in English or your native language So in Indonesia we call it "gerah". It's a condition where you felt the weather make you produce a lot of sweats and felt very uncomfortable and sometimes the temperature isn't that hot but the air just feels not comfortable to the point your body produces a lot of sweats. The sensation it's more like after you went through a series of exercise but without the burn feeling and tiredness

In English, we would call it 'sticky heat' or 'humid heat' or perhaps just 'muggy', though I'd say it's more uncomfortable than that! It's not something which we experience very often in the UK but, when we do, it's usually relieved after a day or so by a thunderstorm and cooler air.

In Java language we can say '"sumuk" but the translator doesn't recognize it.

In my understanding, you are feeling too much humidity and that's why you are sweating a lot even if the temperature is not that bad.
