But I did find 36C in Tonga in Jan/Feb way worse than 41 in Perth; you could have cut the humidity with a knife in Tonga!

It's actually not real good for your respiratory system charging straight from a dry air conditioned environment into hot humid air. At in law's place in Uruguay (often 35-40c in summer, and 90% humidity) they have to have a steam generator running inside the house when they have the AC going in summer or you end up getting crook. The two years I was over there we didn't have AC in our house on the farm and it was bloody miserable during summer! Mrs went and stayed with her parents for four months of the year purely because the heat and humidity sucked so bad! We had ceiling fans and a big stand up fan in our home but they just pushed the warm wet air around. I didn't care that there was Caimans in our irrigation lake on farm would spend the worst evenings jumping in and out of the lake to try and keep cool.
