And over night "lows" will still be as high as 88 degrees in Vegas.
Yes, it's a dry heat, but that's still miserable and they are still living in a desert. At least our heat and humidity provides a landscape of forests and fauna.

You do realize they can just drive less than an hour up to Mt Charleston where the temps are like 30 degrees cooler?

Not quite. 120 would be an all time record.

Specifically, the Las Vegas mercury hit its highest ever, 117 degrees, on July 24, 1942, July 19, 2005, June 30th, 2013, and June 20, 2017. The second highest temperature in Las Vegas is 116 degrees. This has taken place on 17 different days, most recently on July 7, 2017.

But it’s a dry heat....
I remember being in Vegas once and they were bitching about the humidity being up to 49%..

I was stationed in 29 Palms, CA in the early 90s. It would hit 115°-116° all the time. It's freaking hot

Breaking news: People who move to the desert surprised at high temperatures. Live at 11.

You can cook a turkey in dry heat.

That's right. A pizza oven is also dry heat.

Can those who have lived in this kind of desert environment tell us how this affects things like your car, the infrastructure of your house, your ability to do anything at all outdoors? What about if you are in the shade? How much would that help?
Thanks.
Thanks.

That air conditioner set at 82 doesn’t sound so bad now

Well there should be an excessive heat warning in Louisiana then because it literally feels like I'm entering a sauna when I go out of my front door. It seems like the heat and humidity around here is the worst it's ever been.

Maricopa County is one of the fastest growing right now. So many people and businesses relocating here.
So obviously the heat isn’t that big a deal. If it is hot, you stay indoors as much during the day. Drink more water. Wear sunscreen. Have a pool. Most restaurant have huge covered patios with nice misters that makes it comfortable if you want to sit outside.
As for your car...,get a sun visor to place in windshield or covered parking. Your battery maybe lasts 2-3 years max here so always buy a battery with a decent warranty. Windshield wipers crack with heat so replace every year.
You know what people don’t have to deal with here?
Floods, hurricanes, tornadoes. Basically no natural disaster that will seriously damage their home.
Temps are noticeably cooler in the shade
