re: 100 degrees with this dry heat really ain’t bad.

I was confused. You said the dry heat in Vegas was worse than the humid heat in Nola and then posted Dry heat > wet heat. Just thought you had your alligator mouth backwards.

I wasn't clear.

Dry heat isn't as bad as wet heat, hence dry heat > wet heat. But the people who say 90 in nola is worse or much worse than 100 in the desert are lying to themselves. Some people act like 100 with no humidity feels like 75 with humidity.

That said, 20 in Colorado is wayyyy easier than 40 in nola, hence dry cold >>>>>> wet cold.

I was doing yard work for my mom today and it was pretty brutal in the sun all day

Dry heat just feels hot on your skin, and that's it. It's not bad to deal with at all

Meh. I can do mid 90s all day walking around NOLA. It's hot as frick but I can deal with it as long as I'm not doing manual labor or anything. shite I was outside for about 2 hours today doing some maintenance on wife's car. It was hot, but not anything I wasn't used to in September.

106 in vegas was rough. Felt like I was in a broiler. Getting into the shade was only marginally better.

Put it this way, when it's 93 in NOLA, they say it "feels like" 99-100. When it was 106 in vegas they said it "feels like" 103. 103 is fricking hot.

Someone from New Jersey was trying to tell me their heat and humidity was worse than Texas and Louisiana.

Humidity along with heat baw.....that's the killer for me.

Waiting for that fall cool front with low humidity to arrive. Then I will rise from the living dead and do stuff. Like a nice chilli or gumbeaux.
