People who prefer heat are typically divided into two groups: people who can deal with dry heat or people who can only deal with humid heat. Im the later, but most people prefer dry heat it seems.

Unfortunately NYC (where I am) is awful in the summer … gets so humid.
I couldn't deal with that year round … just gross.
I prefer a dry heat but I think places like AZ are just so so so hot even if it is a dry heat.
Miami sounds awful too but @ least it's not super hot all year round and I don't think FL gets as hot as AZ in general.
I can handle the dry desert heat much better than humid heat. I actually like warmer summer temps - 70s, 80s and low/mid 90s are fine by me, once it hits 100° I am staying indoors in the A/C. We average 10-12 days over 100° every summer where I am.

I guess im different cuz i can handle both dry and humid heat.
I lived in Fresno, California for 38 years and that was enough heat to last me a lifetime. I am done with that hot mess of a city. Living the cool, good life in Wyoming now. Hello winter snow and cool summers.

Heat and humidity do not bother me at all IF you live on the water and get a breeze, as I do in Miami—Brickell (on the bay) to be specific and including the summer , which also has the added benefit of tall high rises that also offer shade...head inland a few miles, without breezes, and it is a different animal altogether....add in the Latinas who age naturally, better and beautifully thanks to humidity which keeps their skin moisturized.
I could not tolerate a desert city. I almost always get a dehydration headache if outdoors for more than 15 minutes, my cigars start unraveling after a few minutes, and if I am going to be warm there better be an ocean nearby—which is not the case in Vegas, Phoenix, etc. An oven is dry heat also—not for me.

St. Louis native from before AC was common in homes. I think we got a window AC in the late 1950s or early 1960s. It was pretty bad but there are worse places. I moved to New Mexico and at 5500 ft. elevation and very low humidity and it is wonderful. I could not survive Phoenix summers.
No place is too hot, some places are too humid though. Dry heat rules.
Not for me. Heat without humidity is a nonstarter.
