Yeah this paints most of the Southwest as having a worse climate than where I live, which... yeah, for anyone who hates humidity (which is most people, I think?), that's not remotely true. I'd take 95F and bone dry over 82F and soaking-wet air, any day. Happily.
- silisili 5y agoSame. I'm moving from FL to the SW this year. People see our summer weather - 88hi, 78 low almost every day and think it's perfect. It's not, and it feels gross down to about 72 degrees because of the suffocating humidity.
- folkrav 5y agoI thought we had humid air in Montreal, literally living on an island, and to some extent it's true, but when I went down to Florida did I understand what humidity can make you feel like. Was there mid-August, some days were brutal.
- antupis 5y agoSame with cold I would take dry non windy -10F over humid windy 30F any day.
- birdman3131 5y agoMoved from Colorado (down to -40 in the winter) to east Texas as a kid. Went outside and was told it was mid 30F's. Did not believe they because it felt way colder. These days I am used to it and wear short sleeves down to about 0 to -10F and watch the minds of everyone go WTF is he on. Had I don't know how many people try to donate me jackets while out walking. (Western AR now but it is the same as east Texas for climate.)
