That clinches it, as I'll NEVER live in Phoenix.
I dropped someone off at Sky Harbor this afternoon, yes it was a little hot according to my truck thermometer:
Yeah, but it’s a DRY heat...
Just like a convection oven!
It cooks you extra crispy in just half the time.
I thought they grounded the planes when it got that hot.
Or did the thermometer being moved to a cooler spot take care of that?
I actually think it was only 115, I got caught in crawling slow traffic trying to exit the airport so my thermometer was registering some heat radiating off the asphalt. Noticed how I said “only” 115.
The "dry heat" thing is a factor. 115* in Barstow was baseball weather. 115* with 60% humidity was HIDE OUT weather. Not even the swamp coolers work in humidity like that. Hiding out in the pool worked until you got out of the pool. Dry in 10 minutes. 5 minutes after that you were wet again, and not in the pool kinda way. I had friends in a lovely little place called Needles on the Colorado River. When they had guests over to play in their pool they went to the ice house and got 300 lbs of ice to put in the pool to make it more comfortable. Got a message from a friend of mine this afternoon in Bridgeport (eastern slope of the Sierra south of Reno). He said he was "dodging lightning bolts like a North American Hispanic at a Mariachi event".
Memphis in August was like that. 115* on the road with 60% humidity. Sweating does no good since it can’t evaporate and cool you.The "dry heat" thing is a factor. 115* in Barstow was baseball weather. 115* with 60% humidity was HIDE OUT weather.

I did plumbing rough ins in 118* heat when I was in the victor valley area a few times, after having a broken neck. Talk about a ***** , drank everything I could get my hands on for 8-10 hrs in that.I saw 112* in Needles at midnight when I was a kid. My father was working there at the time on I 40. He said it was 127* at 2 that afternoon. I was on a Boy Scout camping trip on the Colorado. We got there at 1AM set up our tents on a grassy knoll right next to the river. We didn't know the river changed levels overnight. When we woke up the next morning the river was 3' from our tents.
Yeah I hate it when people say "but it's a dry heat"...
Put your hand down your *** crack, feel how dry that is...
We are going to have cooler than normal weather after today, hasn`t been bad except for a couple days here. Maybe rain next week end.After 100 I can't really tell that much difference. It's brutal but doable. Still rather put up with heat in the summer than the snow and cold in the Colorado Winters . It does hit 100 in Colorado too. If anyplace even thinks about having snow I'm out of there.
