At 116 I suspect you start to feel like you are baking. At least your
sweat does some good in keeping you cool, unlike the 95F temp with 80%
humidity that we see so often in the Southeast.

On my first trip to Scottsdale/Phoenix in August [many years ago] it was 108-110 and being from the SE, I thought I would die! When you opened the door to go outside it was like sticking your head in a 350 degree oven. I guess it all depends on what you're accustomed to. That was quite a shock to me. :)


I don't sweat (not like most people, my skin just gets sticky) so I have trouble dealing with heat. I have to drink lots of water to cool off.

It's the same with me, Sue. Maybe that's why I couldn't tolerate those high temperatures... even though dry heat is easier for some. I decided I'd have to stay where I am.

I lived in MI for 3 years and the humidity there is just as bad. Anything over 85 (actual temp or humid levels) and I wanna get in out of the great outdoors.
