I lived in Tucson for my first 18 years of life. 110-115 is manageable with 10% humidity. 105 with 80% humidity is horrendous.
Agreed. I did 3 years in Tucson awhile back, and while it was hot...it was MUCH easier to deal with. That whole "it's a dry heat" thing really DOES make a difference.
I'm 2.5 hours north of you right now, and we're sharing in the same pain. I heard grumblings of 111 degree heat indexes yesterday, and I believe it. It's a soul-crushing heat...especially when the air is so heavy with humidity that you can almost see it in front of you.
Give me 75 degrees and sunny...with a light breeze...all day long.
Hell...give me Baghdad heat of 122 with 4% humidity over this B.S. !!!

<---fighting sweaty booch syndromeThat's just like when I lived in Vegas, you could spend 3 hours walking the strip in 125* heat and not be bothered. Now that I'm back in Michigan the last few weeks really were unbearable. You can get sunburned real quick here too.
