In July, it's a blast furnace.
I don't know. I was there this past June (14th through 29th) and it
wasn't bad. 109 a couple of days, but it really is a dry heat and it felt
very comfortable to someone used to 95/95 here in PA during some summer
days. 109/3 (yes, the RH was 3%!!) was very comfortable. And I could
exit the pool at the hotel, and during the approximately 100 yard walk
back to my room, have my hair completely dry (OK, there isn't THAT much to
dry) and my swim trunks would be nearly dry. It was amazing...
My parents used to spend winters in Vegas. At that time of year, it's a
wonderful place to live and work.
I was there in June once. It was 117 degrees on the strip, and it was
incredible. You literally desiccated as you walked, and didn't even realize
you were dying, since the sweat evaporated immediately.
It didn't feel any worse than 95 in Iowa -- but that's bad enough to make me
not want to go back in summer.
