Temps for us are around 110. It is hot and gross out there. Dry heat or not 110 is hot! (Us desert rats aren't used to humidity so at 20% and 110 it feels muggy).

Does the heat affect me, 100% without a doubt. I hibernate in the summers.

DH and I are in NW Arizona which is a little cooler than where you are tkrik but still muggy here at 20% humidity and only 100 degrees. No rain yet this monsoon season just the humidity!

You are right about us desert rats not liking humidity; DH and I are humidity wimps!

We moved here for the dry weather after flooding in Iowa and wet basements in Ohio.

I get my shopping and appointments done before 10:00 am and stay indoors with ac on or on the patio with the misters on when it starts getting warm.

Evenings are usually cool and no bugs!

DH and a friend went shopping yesterday at Cosco 40 miles from us and it was 123 degrees there!! They were both glad to get home to only 101 and both said how nice and cool it was here!

It's 91 here now and will get hotter before it starts to cool down. I think we reach our maximum temp around 5 PM. The humidity here is 41% right now but there is a 40% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon.evening. We had a bad thunderstorm last night about 9 PM. We're supposed to get the line that came through Kentucky and Tennessee yesterday. I think KY got about 6 inches of rain in a very short period of time.

I'm so thankful for my A/C. I shouldn't complain about having to stay inside. At least I have a cool place to hide! And.....I've been able to keep some $$ in my pocket because I don't ever go anywhere! There's a silver lining to this cloud!

Found another problem with the house I didn't know about.
With the past few rain storms I now have about 8inches of water in my
crawl space. Called the plummer, he won't be available for another day.

The water has to pumped out before my DS can check to see
what the reason for this is.

I feel like I just want to dig a hole and bury myself in it. Instead
of things being easier since I came to Ky. I have had more problems then
I ever imagined.

help!!!!!!

Muggy is worse, but heat is heat. My friend that lived in AZ would say to me, "Yes, it's 110, but it's a DRY heat." Hello? Ya mean like a blow torch??? When it was thirty below here, I'd say to her sarcastically "Yes, but it's a DRY cold."

I think anything over 70 ought to be illegal.
