I now know what people are talking about when they say "dry heat"
I spent the last 4 days in Vegas and though it was 100 degrees and still hot as balls, the lack of humidity made it bearable. Now I'm back home on the east coast, it's 88 degrees with 120% humidity and it's so uncomfortable out there I don't even want to leave the house.
2. I don't know. I spent a week in Vegas one summer when it was
125 degrees. My Keds melted on the sidewalk. I'm not sure there is much different between being roasted alive or boiled alive. I'll take 90 degrees with 100% humidity over 125 degrees and dry as a bone any day.
it was only 95-105 the whole time we were there, but I could at least breathe...the humidity takes away my will to live!
One more thing about the dry heat, it completely chapped my lips to the point where they were almost bleeding. They don't even get this bad in the winter. I plan on spending the next couple of days applying a lot of chapstick
The "feels like" temperature was supposedly the same as what we had back home even though the air temp was 25-35 degrees hotter and the humidity was 60% lower.
They come here and roast in the summertime, and freeze in the winter, all due to humidity. In CO they can be in shirt and jeans nearly all year (During actual blizzards seems to be the one exception.)
Humidity sucks! :scared: :grr: (Closest I could find to cold/hot smilies.)
I was in AZ and the temp was 108 and bearable because it was so dry. Here it is in the upper 80's or low 90's and it's hard to breathe because of the humidity. Sometimes even the low 80's can be hard on breathing because of the humidity.
