My thing is I am always wearing dresses and sandals so that heat radiating off the pavement is really intense!

I haven't noticed any humidity much except for one day late last week.

Within two minutes, life had turned into an episode of Man vs. Wild. Within three minutes, I was contemplating drinking my own urine to survive, and maybe even cool down. As I entered into delirium, I heard my car honking for me, blinking its headlight eyeballs at me as if it were a mirage. I dont recall how I got to it, but I remember being revived by some AC down the shirt.

But other than that, no problems.
That is why we all need to be kind to pedestrians in parking lots in the summer. They are just trying not to drink their own urine before finding their car!

Here's a crazy story to me, I was up North last winter and it was 0 outside, talk about a shock going from 65 to 100, try going from 75 to 0... damn! And like Phoenix, people were rolling around just doing there thing!
Cold weather I think is easier to deal with. You can dress for the cold. You can't dress cool enough for 115+ I mean you can keep yourself out of the Sun and just go straight from your car to the building but try standing out in the Sun for any length of time.

Moving here from CA, I had visited last summer, during a near 120 day, and said, heck, it's not that bad, it's quite dry.
This was a day pre-monsoon.

I did not know about monsoon season!

Now it's hot AND humid, yech, I'm right back in my Midwest upbringing lol.

Cold weather is NOT easier to deal with. I could bundle up in 14 layers of fleece and still be cold. And miserable. NO THANK YOU.

Disagree. The cold is literally a cause for physical pain for me. I’ll take the heat any day.
