Snow Gypsy said:Yep, welcome to the southwest! When we lived in the Tucson area, I got up at 4:00 AM to walk the dog. The "dry" heat myth! In those dry heat states, it gets much hotter which should not be ignored in one's thought process.
Try Minneapolis/St. Paul with 85+ degrees with 85+% humidity. That is extremely uncomfortable. Sweat never evaporates.
I went to Redding, CA for the first two years of college. Dry heat. I loved it. Humidity makes for suckage.
I am enduring the 100+ with no issues. I take a couple of cool showers, wear a wet shirt, drink lots of cool water. Evaporative cooling.
Same thing in winter. Zero degrees and dry air is more comfortable than 30 degrees and humidity.
Maybe that's just me.
