But people tell me OKC's not even that humid during the summer. When I hear "humid" I think of Florida--dew points at 75+ most summer days. How high are average dew points in OKC during the summer? 65F? That's not too bad.
Did I say OKC? On the other hand - wait until a toad straggler blows through OK and it is 95F. Then turn off AC and work.
You were there during an abnormally couple of days--OKC winter temps fluctuate between mild and cold. During an average winter OKC will see a mean maximum of 70 degrees in Dec. and 74 degrees in Feb. Still, it will get much colder than SoCal.
The four winters we spent here were apparently abnormal.
This year was a tad warmer than usual. But even then, we saw plenty of temps in the low 20s. Not ONCE when the temps dropped into the low 20s did the temps inside my apartment drop below 60 WITHOUT HEATING. And my apartment is on the FIRST floor, the coldest floor!
Please get a patent on that. A lot of folks must be doing something wrong.
Hold my beer... 126 days over 105* heat index SE Florida. I've seen 100* heat index at 0830. Takes getting use to.
True, but the heat index only takes into account the humidity. It doesn't take into account the average wind speed. It doesn't take into account cloud cover. It doesn't take into account the duration of the heat. Whether the heat is going to last the whole day or whether it will last during the day, and then a squall will cool everything off by afternoon.

Why do you think every nasty day in the south gets cooled with rain? That's not true, go look at data.
Just cause it happened during your little stay in Mississippi doesn't mean it happens every year and everywhere.
And you keep acting like hot places in California don't have lots of shade trees. There's plenty of trees in California. The only places with little tree cover are new housing developments, but anywhere older has large trees. Also, you can do stuff to cool your house in CA, like painting it white and installing a cool roof. It makes a big difference.
Santa Barbara has summer days in the 90s and occasionally in the 100s.
Disagree. It might not be perfect but you can certainly live there without an air conditioner.
Probably most people there do. 90 degree days would be exceptional. 100s? If they have days like those I'd imagine it'd be years between them, if it wasn't for a poster who implies they live there and mentioned 100 degree days, I'd say it never hits 100 in SB. Looking at wikipedia, it appears 100 degree days do happen, but Average high temperatures in SB are below 80 year round.

I hope you don't mean me; I never mentioned Santa Barbara and don't live there. I live in coastal SoCal, but far south of that.
