A few years ago in August, I had to travel from Houston (90 degrees) to
Bakersfield (110): I was sooooo glad to get to Bakersfield!! :~)

True. I have stood on the Strip in Las Vegas when it was 116 degrees. No
one was venturing outside.

No one sane, anyways.

While it was truly impressive heat -- and not something I would care to
sleep outside in -- it was *nothing* compared to 95 degrees on a humid day
here in Iowa.

One thing I like out here in the west is that it can be 100 during the day,
but you have to close the windows at night for it being too cool in the
middle of the night. Today is 98, last night was 57.

Stepping into the shade in Vegas resulted in immediate (if
relative) comfort -- there is NO relief from humidity, other than air
conditioning.

Yup...the humidity follows you around (chases you, actually).
