fug
Warm, stuffy atmosphere
Fug is the warm, stale, stuffy air of an enclosed space—a room where windows haven't been opened, or a car after a long drive with the heat on.
The word is primarily British: We opened the windows to clear the fug.
It suggests staleness and closeness rather than simple warmth.
