Look at the RH and DP in Furnace Creek talk about an oven. Supposed to be 122 F (50 C) there tomorrow. Currently 114 F (46 C) with a 14 F (-10 C) dew point. Wildcat's favorite weather.

Or a furnace, even.

Not really. Only because of the hot temps. You lose water faster in hot, humid climates as opposed to hot, dry ones, given the temperature is the same. Your body continues to perspire despite its ineffectiveness, whereas sweating is more efficient in dry climates and you lose less water.
We are currently on 61 hours sun for the month, and we are 2/3 of the way through! To even equal the cloudiest June on record, we need to average 6 hrs a day (which is cloudier than average). Should be easy, but the forecast suggests otherwise.
We have already recorded 150% of the monthly rainfall.

105%, even. We've seen 9 rain days already. I think we've had 3 thunder days at Heathrow, though across London there have been more like 5-6 days.
Surely we are due some normal summers soon? Since 2007, we've only had 2 good/decent summers (2013, 2014). 2009 and 2015 were ok but cloudy, and the rest were bad.

No.. you dehydrate faster when its humid, not bone dry.
If it's very humid, your sweat doesn't evaporate well, so you heat up more. The more you heat up, the more sweat your body produces, desperately trying to cool you down. This leads to the ironic situation where you're soaking wet on the outside and dehydrated inside.. You get dehydrated more quickly because your body temperature is higher.
Things dry out better when humidity is low. When water evaporates, it has a cooling effect, that's the whole reason we sweat, your body is moving water to your skin so it can evaporate and cool you down hence less odds of dehydration when less humid.
