We were at Disneyworld two weeks ago and it was 98 and 99 in Orlando with humidity.
How crowded was it this time of year? Can’t imagine too crowded since it’s as hot as you said.

Aren’t they finding dead homeless people from heatstroke out there?

I am literally sitting out by the pool listening to the Braves (yes a replay) and it’s 93 degrees and dark. It’s extremely nice. If I was in the southeast I would be sweating my arse off.
I don’t know what y’all are talking about. I sit out on my porch every evening and I don’t sweat. I was walking my dogs this morning, no sweat.
I live in south Louisiana.
Now if it was noon I’d be dying.

What do they do for residential A/C when it's 115+ outside??

Our plan was to beat the summer rush so we went in late May because the northeast schools weren’t out yet
With the heat we got lucky. We did Magic Kingdom on a Sunday and we had to pinch ourselves. We rode literally every ride in the park twice and even our kids at 9pm were like “ok I think I’m good. We’ve done everything”.
We definitely got lucky and since the lines weren’t long and we had genie plus we were inside all the time doing rides.

Dry heat feels good compared to humid heat. That sauna-like feeling can have therapeutic effects for any aches and pains you might have.

I’ll take Arizona summer over Louisiana summer any day. I lived in the Tucson area for just shy of 10 years. I miss the weather and scenery the most. 8 months of the year the weather is near perfect.

Think of it like this: Western heat is like a blow dryer on your skin; Southern heat is like roasting in a sauna. I wonder if that added humidity has a lot to do with the girls being more naturally pretty in the Deep South, healthier for the skin?

Arizona is probably more dangerous. It’s so dry the sweat evaporates before you even know you are sweating. That along with being at higher altitude results in more rapid dehydration

"But it's a dry heat!".
Yeah, like an oven.

not Arizona, but West Texas desert heat.
115°+ is hot. dry heat or not.
it is different, but still sucks arse.

I rotate the sauna and steam room every other day at the gym. I can talk and play on my phone in the sauna but in the steam room I feel like I’m going to die.

Humidity affects your ability to cool via sweating so by definition wet heat is worse at any given temp. That said the hottest temps I’ve experienced was when it was hitting 110s in Texas. It was like standing in front of a hot radiator.

100 degrees is Hot no matter where you are
I have been on 6 Continents and 47 Countries…. No place is as miserable as Vietnam

Arizona heat is like living in an oven.
Louisiana heat is like living in an oven while someone is spraying you with hot water.

I have lived in Florida nearly all of my life....and can honestly say that nothing I have experienced here is as bad as the three weeks visiting family in Memphis during late July./Aug ..That sucked
That was hot, humid and no gulf/ocean breeze
That was worse , though small sample, of the crossing rush Az ( stopping in Desert Center Az) and it being 113

Louisiana heat is a thousand times worse! I've spent some time in Arizona during the summers. The temperatures were 98-110 and I barely ever broke a sweat. Now, you take 98-110 down here in Louisiana, and you are drenched from head to arse crack in less than two minutes outside. I'd take Arizona heat over our heat any day of the week.

I've lived in Arizona most of my life. In the hittest part of summer, the hair dryer to the face analogy is pretty good.
I've also lived in Illinois, Connecticut and New Jersey during Summers. To me, the humid summers are just as bad as the dry AZ heat. I imagine LA is worse than all of em.
