stepping out,
a hundred feet of humidity

Humidity in Australia can often feel like a brick wall; you step out of your nice air-conditioned home and slam head-first into a dense, unyielding cloud of air that’s so hot it might as well be steaming.
Naturally, it’s a bit of a shock when you step out in your late-winter clothes and get surprised by the spring air bearing down upon you.
