As far as "comfort" goes, I'll take a few degrees hotter, but drier every time. When it's 90° in Florida, it "feels" like 110° in a desert state. I never belived it possible to perspire while taking a cold shower until I lived in Florida. Still, I prefer Florida's climate to that of the northern states. Heaven must be 75° to 80° with low humidity and 5 m.p.h. breeze. Won't that be nice?

Player #1362267, when I went to Vegas ,the heat did not bother me. It felt so good to have heat without humidity like in the southern states.

Didn't Al Gore's 1980 theories on Global warming predict we would all be dead by now??

I live here. since 1977. Surprised this happened as late as 2011since we have so much more foliage. To avoid the heat we hibernate in the summer instead of winter.

That dry air will make you look 10 years older unlike living in Hawaii I look 10 years younger :)

Guillermo, Greta predicted humanity would come to an end this last June of 2023. another newspaper report predicted that New York City would be underwater in 20 years. That article was published in 1911.

Player #1362267, but it's a dry heat! an oven is dry heat. Vegas is an oven. I'm from Florida and thought I would dry up and die in Vegas. I'm used to breathing air that is 50% fluid
