EN: humidity, dampness, moisture
This is the official state of being in the Philippines from March to October. It's that 'lagkit' feeling the moment you step out of an air-conditioned room. It's the reason your hair gets frizzy, your clothes feel damp even after drying, and your camera lens fogs up. Kahalumigmigan is the mortal enemy of a fresh blowout and a crisp new barong.
From ka- + halumigmig (dampness) + -an.
A somewhat formal or scientific term. In everyday conversation, people are more likely to use the adjective `maalinsangan` (humid) or describe the feeling as `malagkit` (sticky).
