Important Weather Factoid

When someone says “but it’s a dry heat”, there’s a quick and easy way to tell if they’re talking out their ass or not: Go sit in the shade someplace with a breeze.

Out of the direct sun, as long as your perspiration can evaporate and carry away excess heat like it’s supposed to, you can get well into the ninety degree range without being too miserable. Bump that humidity up enough so that your body’s built-in swamp cooler stops working, though, and even the high 70s are awful.
