   I experienced that - what you call "90/90".   
   I worked in a research foundry.   
   Thing was that onlookers were unlikely to think of - surely when the   
   temperature goes up, with the same unchanged amount of water (moisture)   
   in the air, the relative humidity must go down(?).  So sweating works.   
   Problem was "home" - an apartment right under the asphalt'ed roof...   
   Having a friend of the female persuasion around was not for the   
   heterosexually faint-hearted...  :-)
