Anyone else who cannot stand the summer heat?

I have been in Palm Desert, CA when it was 105 degrees with about 14% humidity. I have to admit that the dry heat was not near as sapping as the humid heat.

Oh Debbie, Debbie, Debbie.....now that you are about to move here (AZ) you too will probably enjoy the summer until it REALLY is summer.

This week, for instance, the temp's are above normal (normal is 104-ish) and today should be 111, but......the humidity is only 3-6% so while it is not sweaty, sticky hot, it is oven broiling hot! In other words, set your oven to "broil" and then go sit in there, yep just a tad bit warm

But don't worry, you will just LOVE our winters! THAT is why we live here.

I remember visiting my in-laws in Phoenix, AZ in July and going to bed in tears because it didn't cool down at night. All day long, I'd suffered from the intense heat and longed for evening. But when evening came, it simply dropped into the 90's. I had lived in other warm places in summer time - Greece, southern Spain, South of France, but nothing compared with the intensity of Arizona summer heat. My brother-in-law used to work construction in college vacations and would cook his lunch, literally, on the top of his truck simply by letting the sun do its work.

Bleh! I don't like the heat at all! Right now it's 6:30pm and the temperature is 97* with humidity at 33%. It feels gross! I really can't wait until winter! For those of you who think 80* is hot, you'll probably wouldn't even stand our winters!
