But was it hotter at the relative humidity numbers they state in the article (50% and 100% relative humidity?)

I also grew up in a place that routinely saw triple-digit Fahrenheit temps, but the RH was < 20%. RH has a huge impact on the evaporative cooling capacity of the human body.

50% yes. It also got to 100% humidity occasionally which was definitely worse than the hot dry days.
