I looked up the weather for Penang on December 12th - 14th and it was pretty much the same each day.
Dec. 12th: High 90 Low 77 1 PM: Temp 90 Dew Point 73 Humidity 59% Wind SE 3.5 mph
Dec. 13th: High 91 Low 77 1 PM: Temp 90 Dew Point 72 Humidity 55% Wind E 8.1 mph
Dec. 14th: High 91 Low 78 1 PM: Temp 91 Dew Point 73 Humidity 55% Wind NE 9.2 mph
I don't know if we ever nailed down the date exactly, but the Singapore episode thread mentions Dec. 16th as the date there, so Dec. 14th sounds likeliest for Penang. The wind matches up with what Jet and Cord had for the flag balancing task. In any case, the weather would have been hot and humid but not unbearably so. I'd say the comments were due to the fact that most of the racers weren't used to the combination of heat and humidity. Brent and Caite are from South Carolina, so they probably were (and I don't remember them complaining). Jet and Cord probably see a days like that in Oklahoma, but they didn't do the lifting and stair climbing. They don't seem like the types to complain much about it anyway.

25C = 77F and 32C = 89.6F so the racers were seeing typical temperatures, maybe very slightly warm for that area. 35C = 95F so it could have been a few degrees Fahrenheit warmer for us Celsius challenged Americans. :ascared

so far in singapore or malaysia, the lowest temp is 23, but not seen in the month of dec, and highest can go up to 35, normally it will be either 32 or 33
FYI: this temp is not observed at Cameron Highlands and Genting

This is one interesting leg isn't it. Compare the placements with the previous leg, every team had a symmetrical switch! The first became last and vice versa, second became fifth and vice versa, third became fourth and vice versa. Just a random observation on my part lol.
Jet and Cord were amazing. They started off rough, not able to get a cab and all. But did they make up a whole lot of time at the Detour! What was the most amazing was that even after completing the Speed Bump and Roadblock, no team was there yet. This must be the first in TAR history. Amazing!
I'm sad that Steve and Allie are gone. With that, I'm rooting for Jet and Cord and Dan and Jordan now.
