as someone who has experienced both 112° in the desert and the oppressive humidity of the Louisiana swamps:

dry heat or not, the desert is fucking hot.
it is different, but still hot.

the big difference is that in dry climates, there is a much more noticeable drop in temp when you get in the shade than there is in the bayou.

bad thing is there ain’t a lot of natural shade out there.

Bought a Trektop for the Jeep. Would be so cool to put it on.

Very true. When I was younger, I spent a couple years on and off working in Arizona, and I agree......When it's over 100 degrees, it's too fucking hot! The thing I noticed was that it almost seemed easier to overheat because it seemed like you didn't sweat as much in the low humidity vs. the more humid climate I'm used to.

it’s not so much that you sweat less, it’s that it evaporates really quickly due to the air being so dry.

here in the humid swamps, the air is already saturated, so your sweat does not evaporate as quickly and just stays on you and your clothes.


and yes it always seems easier to overheat in the climate that is not what you’re accustomed to.
I can handle Louisiana Coast summers. Been doing it for 40 years now.

but the desert? no thank you.

Last summer's rain pattern was all screwy, and this year is looking to be yet another weird rain pattern if the last week or two is going to be the norm. So far this year once it starts, it doesn't seem to want to stop until like 9 or 10 at night. Had a tornado warning while I was in the gym, so that was fun. Can we just go back to the predictable rain from ~3-5pm with the once or twice a week raining into the night? I'd like that.
