What is it like to live in the AZ heat? True story.

[Aristus]

4. I spent three years of my childhood in the Huachuca Mountains.

We had 100F-degree summers, but snow in the winters. I liked the variety.

And if anybody every complains to you that "dry heat is still heat, man!", I profess that there is a difference; having spent several summers in hot, humid, Houston, TX. At 100% humidity, your sweat has nowhere to go, no place to evaporate to, so you never cool down; it's misery.

At least in the desert, the sweat evaporates quickly, cooling you off a little. You're never as soggy as in a place with high humidity.
