      I lived in Phoenix for a while, 05-08ish. I grew up and live in Florida now. The difference really is the “dry heat” that everybody treats as the big joke. You can still sweat in 125 and dry air. 125 in humid air doesn’t let you sweat.

        Where in Florida‽ In South Florida the last couple of weeks have been awful and the Coral is dead. But the one cloudy day was manageable.

        The heat has been constant this year. We are 30 days now of over 110F, a handful of those days hit 120+.

        I’ve been here for a years now, but this year the heat is hitting different. Humidity is definitely another animal, but 120s is nothing to bat your eye at.
