Re: Man is it HOT out said by devil24:You wuss!!!  Come to Houston anytime and experience what real HEAT + HUMIDITY feels like. No thanks, you can have it  We are in the 80's to around 100 during the day here (Inland Mendocino County, Northwestern California), but the humidity levels are low, at night we get the cool, moist onshore flow from the Pacific (about 30 miles west) and it cools it down well into the 50's even on the hottest of days, and the humidity goes from the 15-30% mark during the day to the 60-70% mark at night. Here, hot=dry (daytime offshore flow), cool=moist (nightime onshore flow).
The hottest temp I've ever experienced is 118 just outside of Ridgecrest, CA, it's on Hwy.395 near China Lakes in the desert. I have experienced that heat and humidity in Baton Rouge and Washington DC, and I'm glad I don't have to deal with it.
