Come to Tucson Arizona! Where men are men and the sheep fear them! (or something like that) -

Looks like moving to Mt. Lemmon might be a good idea.  I dunno about "dry heat" either.  I can tolerate hot weather if the wind is blowing.  There are some places where the wind can make all the difference. 

Summers here in western NY are often not too different from the south during the day.  Hot and humid.  But things usually cool down more at night, and the number of 90+ degree days are also usually far less.

There's almost nothing you can depend on about the weather in Boston - temperatures and moisture usually the opposite one year from the last.  But if you have a hot summer day, you can count on those cooler sea breezes getting sucked in over the land starting around noon.  I'll even delay an errand or a walk around then if they haven't started up yet, I know they won't be long.

You remember what they use to say about the weather in Indiana don't you?

"If you don't like the weather here, wait a minute".

We were enjoying nice cool temperatures from the North this past week, but it is coming to an end. They are forecasting temperatures well into the 90's later this week with full humidity. "The air that you wear" as they say.

It was even worse in Evansville. It was hard to breathe down there in the summertime. A lot of people don't realize how hot it gets here in Indiana until they come here.... and then they can't believe it. I remember a friend of mine tried to fry and egg on the hood of her car one summer. It didn't actually fry, but it actually began to solidify and turned a little crisp around the edges. I always wondered if she had just let it sizzle on the car a few minutes longer, perhaps it might have actually fried.

Now that's HOT!! ;)

Phillip Dampier:
HEAT WAVE!  In the mid 90s today.  I did my power walk at 10 at night tonight.  I notice it was 98 in Riverton a little while ago, with all of 8% humidity.  I don't think that's ever possible here in western NY.  Childress was in the triple digits.  Tomorrow is supposed to be worse.

Rochester got nearly 4 inches of rain in a matter of hours on Wednesday which flooded out several roadways and caused some sinkholes.  That amount of rain here is unheard of in such a short amount of time.  We also have a denser soil here, so it doesn't soak in so fast....
