Yeah, it's the added humidity in the air in Texas that makes it seem like you're being boiled alive. The temps may get higher where I'm from, but like Australia, it's a dry heat.
That’s certainly true about ‘dry heat’. Our 95+ degree temps with 20% humidity here in the Santa Clara valley are a.darned sight more comfortable than cooler temps with 90% humidity. At least your sweat can evaporate. (and it cools off nicely at night)
