Well, you make my point.

In the Arizona desert, your perspiration will evaporate, creating a mini-cooling system for your body.

I used to be a long-distance runner and I could run in the heat of Arizona because of this process.

But in Florida, I would run and perspire and I would only get hotter because the air was too humid for it to evaporate and naturally cool me.

I'm retired now and I only walk instead of run. It is still difficult to tolerate the heat and humidity on my morning walk.

My cattle farm requires my wife and I to be out in the heat most of the day. But we are forced to come inside every so often so we can cool off and recover some. Otherwise, it would be impossible to stay outdoors continually all day.

Yup. Went through Air Force Basic Training in July/August in San Antonio, TX, during my time, I spent two years in Korea (re-upped for Korea after the first year, cuz I was trying to get to D-M in Tucson, and didn't want to go to Fort Meade in MD). Spent my last three years in Tucson. I'll take 100 degrees in Tucson over 80+ degrees in either San Antonio or Korea any day.
