I mean, I know it's hot but, what kind of heat is it?
Is it the muggy, humid type of heat?
Or is it the kind of heat that, once you are under a shade (not under the sun) it feels kind of fresh.
Not sure how this kind of heat is called. Dry, template maybe?
I am still planing to move to SA from Chicago, but never been to SA during the summer. Only during winter.

Much less humid than Missouri (I believe Missouri is similar to Chicago in humidity)
Reminds me a little of when I visited Tucson, it was very hot but it didn't feel as if you were breathing hot air.

Yes. It can get very humid in Chicago. If you do not have AC, forget about a good night sleep. Windows and doors open, fan on. No relief without AC.

It's a long, hot summer and here's a humidity chart: (it's not "much less humid than St. Louis")


Average Relative Humidity(%)

Yes, it can be quite humid.

80's in April..90's in May..all the way through almost Halloween. Halloween is when we look for cooling. Many 100 degree+ days this year.

Very difficult to live without AC here...very difficult.

Well, winter is similar to summer here, except for about 3 days.

Summers are hot and you will sweat once you open your front door. You have to drink a lot of water and be smart about your outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day--usually from 11AM until 5PM. It's best to do your walking/jogging/outdoor playing early in the morning or later on in the evening.

Iced tea will fix anything, though. Or a nice black cherry margarita on an outdoor patio with chips and salsa.

Sounds like a plan...!!! I mean, but you still go out and do what you have to do, as far as work, run errands and the like....
I am a truck driver and I would hate to have the AC turned on 24/7.

Hehe...seems like some folks do run the AC 24/7 based on $300+ bills! It's usually around 77-78 in the morning..in the 80's by 9AM. More humid in the mornings...decreasing as the day goes on.

IMHO, summer can be really brutal here. You do have to take precautions being outdoors for long. Beautifully big Texas skies, few clouds most days, and small shade trees can equal to some intense sun shine on you, which can feel like being under a heat lamp in a fast food joint quick. It is not unusual to see people carrying umbrellas to shield themselves from the sun. Shade can bring some relief, but its still hot out. It gets humid here, but it doesn't feel as bad as its did in Va. where I am from. You get a breeze most days, which helps, but when its 90-100's, its still hot wind. This summer has been exceptionally hot and dangerous. I would/could not live here without AC.
