Sat outside with my Friday martini for an hour. Delightful on my front porch. While there, we hit our high for the day at 98° and the humidity was way up there at 12%. My old bones loved it, but I could feel my skin drying out as I sat there. Ah heck, lotion is cheap.

Hot is hot . Dry heat is still hot. Heat and high humidity makes it feel hotter because of less evaporation from your body. Guess what heat is heat.

I have no use for July and August. I can't stand the heat. I don't know how you guys in the South live with it. I'd be inside 24/7 with the A/C set at 58°! The only good thing about summer is hummingbirds and lightning bugs!
I sure would like to be having an adult beverage with Rocky at his place though. Never been to Utah.

I keep hearing about those high temperatures and then the people say, but it's dry heat. Yeah, and we cook a turkey in dry heat.

There are some advantages of that "dry" heat. You can wear a wet hat or bandanna or if you want more a wet shirt and get cooled off. If you use a clothes line and hang out the sheets first by the time you are done hanging things up the sheets will be dry. Sitting in the shade even when 100 degrees isn't bad.
What sucks is getting into a car when it is 105 or more outside. Or making the mistake of setting a few wrenches in the sun while you work. Car engines hate sitting in traffic when it is that hot as the asphalt can be 160 plus.
It was 107 two days ago, hottest yet this year for Tucson, but humidity was 8-10%. Monsoon will be raining on us soon. S. Az has gotten several storms already.

Dad had a place out in Yuma for the winter and when he went back out there after spending the summer here is Wisconsin, the candles inside the house would be melted. We can actually go outside and recreate during the day here in the north.

I have no use for July and August. I can't stand the heat. I don't know how you guys in the South live with it. I'd be inside 24/7 with the A/C set at 58°! Even if you work outside say 8 hours a day at least you can get out of it and sleep cool because of AC. I don't know how the people made it without AC in the past. Ceilings were higher in old houses and they used fans but that could only help so much. AC is what made the "new South".....otherwise so many people would not want to be here.....certainly not in the summer. I'm convinced that climate control is why more people live longer these days. I think if the grid got hit or something and we were without AC, a lot of old people might die. I'm not really familiar with "dry heat". I do know the mornings here are miserable because of the humidity......from say 7 to 10 am. Even though it gets hotter later in the day, to me it feels better because the humidity lifts a bit and the wind picks up a little. I imagine that in hot weather with low humidity you would really have to watch out for dehydration if active outside.

You sure do. Sweat is still pouring out, but it evaporates instantly. Because you don't realize you're sweating, you forget to drink water. By the time you feel thirsty, you're way behind on hydration.
