There's more to "the heat" than the temperature. I live in the NY area, and grew up in the DC area. I just spent a few days near Dallas, Texas, where it got to 104 F one day, but spent most of the days in the high 90s. But it was a dry heat. That was far preferable to me than the NY area in the high 80s with high humidity.
- loso 13y agoThis is the truth. I use to live in Louisiana outside of New Orleans for 4 years and it was very humid all of the time. But the past 5 years I have been living in Harlem and the humidity and heat feel a lot worse in NY even though as far as the thermometer says the heat is no where near as bad as it used to get down south.
