Having recently returned from Arizona where it was 107, I can testify that even though it is a dry heat......... it is still hot, hot, hot!
I agree it can be HOT! (vs. hot), but I spent 6 years in SW Oklahoma and 105 felt better there than 95 with 95% humidity does here. It’s depressing when you step out of the house at 5 AM and your underwear are “stuck” within 5 steps...
