And the amount of daylight in the desert southwest US is less?

Yes. The southwestern U.S. is at a much lower latitude, and so the length of
daylight in summar is shorter.

This makes absolutely no sense. If the southwestern US is at a
much lower latitude than France (which it is, as I've lived in BOTH),
the length of daylight would be LONGER in the summer, not shorter. The
sun set here (Vegas) at 8:03pm local time tonight, and expected to set
later at this time of the year (due to summer solstice). Plus, with it
being geographically closer to the equator than France, you will see
places like Arizona, Hawaii, and the like not use Daylight Savings Time
because of the amount of sun they get.

You may want to go back to school and LEARN something instead
of sitting there and letting it go through one ear and out the other.

I live here, so I think I would know that better than you.

Las Vegas would welcome the humidity. That would mean a better
chance for rain and a cool breeze, as opposed to dry heat and hot
winds.

No. Humidity does not guarantee rain by any means, and it dramatically
reduces human tolerance for heat by limiting evaporation. You're better off
(or at least no worse off) in the dry heat of Las Vegas than in the wet heat
of some parts of the Deep South, although both locations are far too hot
and/or humid for comfort.

lessee.. Humidity gets up to near 100%; I go outside, and I see
rain.

I grow up in Nebraska, and humidity gets up to 95%, I go
outside, and I see rain. I look at the current weather conditions in
KOKC (where my father and other relatives live) and Humidity there is
92%. Current conditions? Rain.

As usual, you are wrong. And in this case, pathetically wrong
at that.

Right now, we're lucky to have temps at 10pm at night *under*
37C.

The desert is like that. At least there is air conditioning in the desert.
With no air conditioning, both heat and humidity can be deadly.

Take you E=MC^2 to figure that one out?
