    Your lack of humidity makes that semi-bearable. Try 113F in Louisiana, (south and east) Texas, or Florida.

    I went backpacking in the desert areas of NM, and 95F there felt like 75F here.

        It’s not gatekeeping to point out that humidity has a direct relationship with how much heat capacity the air has and negatively impacts how well your body can cool itself. Quite literally. Without sweat evaporation, people can suffer heat stroke in the mid 80’s Fahrenheit.
