steamiest
Hottest and haziest
Steamiest is the superlative of steamy.
At its most literal, it describes the most humid or vapor-filled environment: the steamiest summer on record.
More often it refers to sexual content or atmosphere—the steamiest scenes in a film are the most explicitly erotic: the steamiest romance novel I've ever read.
