Cultural Tip
In many Latin American countries, especially those near the coast or in the tropics, humidity is a daily reality. People often comment on the ‘pegajoso’ (sticky) feeling caused by sweat and the dampness of the air. When speaking with locals, a light complaint about the weather is a common ice‑breaker, but keep the tone friendly – overly negative remarks can be taken as complaining about the climate itself rather than just personal preference.
