Scientists at the advocacy group Climate Central studied the weather of nearly 1,000 cities over the last 50 years, taking humidity into account as well as air temperature.
They say the number of days with dangerous heat and humidity grew from an average of 10 to 23 per year.
Caitlin Trudeau is an implied climate scientist with the group.
She says when humidity goes up, people can't sweat enough to get cool.
In the United States, the trend is most pronounced in parts of the South, Southeast, and Midwest.
