muggiest
Maximally sticky air
Muggiest is the superlative of muggy—the most oppressively humid and warm.
Weather described as muggiest combines heat with moisture that makes the air feel heavy and uncomfortable: August was the muggiest month on record.
The word emphasizes that sticky, airless quality that makes you sweat just standing still.
