Ive been in Las Vegas when it was 112 and it felt like 80 here. I tried to break a sweat and couldnt. Their dry heat is completely different than our humid heat.

I used to live in Saudi Arabia where it could reach 120 on a normal day. I would still rather have that than this humid heat any day.

It may seem wierd but I love the humidity. I really didn't know anything else until last February when I went to Vegas for the 1st time. That dry air is terrible, I'd wake up in the middle of the night or day caughing my throat was so dry. I had to turn on the shower on full heat to get some moisture in the motel room. I'll take my humidity any day.
