I would take Phoenix or Houston this week over Philly and the dnc convention this week. I will be in nyc for two days and then dc and its going to be brutal, even more brutal in our headquarters in DC until friday and nyc is going to be hell. How you experience heat is a big factor, places like Texas and Arizona have tons of pools and south/southwest have other factors to alleviate heat . in Florida and the coastal areas in the south you can get a sea breeze and a ton of thunderstorms and rain , an urban heat island and conctrete jungle just adds 5-7 degrees

Point is, to you AND him, some people prefer Houston and some prefer Phoenix. There shouldn't be this constant derision of people who prefer one over the other in this topic. It's not that serious.
Except that nobody was deriding anyone. Nothing but fact was used for support in discussion.

No it was not; in fact, there wasn't even a heat index recording at all; the value it amounted to was low, that it didn't need to be posted on the NWS reading.
Skies stayed cloudy after that storm as well, so the heat of the sun was not a problem. Couple that with breeze, and you have comforting factors.

But if it produces a heat index less than Phoenix's dry heat, we would know which place feels cooler.

It's not just about the heat index, you can't ignore the amount of water vapor that is in the air at those dewpoints!
Dew points during a storm? Like I said , it will feel hotter in the northeast corridor this week than Phoenix and Houston . Tonight in Philly during convention and nyc its around dew points around 72f and 90-94% humidity with massive storms in philly. Its all about how you actually experience the heat, pools and coastal areas and breeze and trees and vegetation and open space versus urban heat islands and high density with people and concrete jungles and crowded subways, mass transit , and traffic?

My dewpoint, heat index, and humidity are better than yours.
