I spent last summer in California's inland empire region. You've gotta remember something. In between SoCal and Phoenix, AZ lays Death Valley, one of the literal hottest places on the planet. It really shouldn't be that surprising, then, that the regional area can become super-heated, if that's even a term. When it was topping the high 110s where I was last summer, it really wasn't that bad. I spent 4 years living in the middle of Georgia, and 95 degrees with 95% humidity was a much more unpleasant feeling than a dry 118 was, at least for me.
