122* desert heat isn't as bad as 90* with 100% humidity.
Whoever told you that was lying.Quote:

Picture this. The difference between 60* and 90* is the same as the difference between 90* and 120*.
115* and higher is truly a different level. Working outside in Arizona is very different. If I set a ratchet down in the sun for 2 minutes, it's impossible to hold in your hand. A breeze feels like a hair dryer. Any public business in Arizona must provide water for anyone who asks.
I paved roads in Arizona for a couple years, and have never experienced anything close to that level of heat in my life. I now consider anything under 110* a walk in the park.
I lived in Vegas for 4 years. I will take 120 desert heat over 90* and 100% humidity ANY day.
It was 92 with high humidity the other day and it was fucking miserable. I used to play outside in the Vegas heat without breaking a sweat.
Both are miserable in their own ways IMO, BUT I can't stand people who use the excuse that it's a "dry" heat to describe AZ and NV and such. The oven at 350F is a dry heat, but it's still hot as fuck.Quote:

So kind of a wash IMO.
I will say, currently I work on my car in a wood shop with a metal roof, and it gets up to about 110-120 during the heat of the day AND it's humid. After I wrap up this rebuild: Never. Ever. Again. I'll burn the fucking car down before doing it like this again.
The description I give is this. At 90 and humid, the heat comes from inside, your body doesn't cool properly. At 120 and dry it surrounds you, and feels like your being burned by a heat lamp.
When you lived in Vegas, did you work outside in direct sunlight?Quote:
