Madras (now Chennai) India, near the Bay of Bengal, is known to have some of the hottest most excruciatingly humid weather on the planet. It is so hot that the trees don't lose their leaves in winter. They fall off in the dead middle of summer (when you need them most) When you arrive, the heat hits you like a wall as if it is solid. However, the locals wear saris, gowns and even pants. Yes pants! The secret lies in the fabric; a fine delicate feather weight short staple cotton fabric known as Madras-cloth.
