Uh.....I want to say Austin, TX is actually at a LOWER lattitude than Albuquerque....so I don't get why the sun would be hotter in ABQ???
it maybe, but the sun feels alot hotter in ABQ, in the Austin area, there is some cloud cover, it comes and goes, but in ABQ, the sun is constantly shining, it might rain for 5 minutes, then the sun is back out, the sun feels alot worse in ABQ than in the Austin area.
ABQ averages 8 inches of rain per year, sometimes more or less, but the sun is always out, summer or winter, the sun is always out, and that is a good thing, especially in the winter. Winters feel really nice in ABQ, even though it may look cold on paper, but its really nice, I dont even use the heater in my truck in the winter cause the sun heats it up enough.

No, I mean it totally makes sense that the sun is hotter in the DESERT, I just don't always understand why that coud be true if it's at a higher lattitude.

Anybody that prefers humidity to dryness has issues, lol.
Yeah cause it's such an "issue" to prefer moist, non-cracked skin over dry, scale-like skin you guys have in the desert. Maybe some of us prefer sweat because it cools you down and let's you know that you're getting dehydrated versus having the sweat evaporate before it condenses on your skin.
Yes this debate once again comes down to prefrence, but to say that we have "issues" for liking moisture in the air is silly!

Anyone that likes to feel hot and sweaty can do so if they wish. As for me, I cannot stand to have my shirt stick to my skin while I mow, rake, or whatever.
You like that type of climate/weather, more good for you but I think the poll bears out that most people dislike your type of climate.
HUMIDITY SUCKS. Especially in the Summer, AND in Texas.

My problem isn't that "most" people prefer dry heat to humid heat. My problem also ins't your very valid opinion of why you don't like humid, sticky weather. My problem is that you said "anyone who prefers humid heat to dry heat has issues".

Surely you understand that these polls do not reflect opinions outside of city-data?
That said, I prefer dry heat to humid heat...but it's kind like deciding between being beaten with a paddle or a whip.
