It's been hot and humid here.....but honestly I don't think it's any worse than normal for this time of year. And it has been hotter in recent years. July and August are normally hot and humid in piedmont SC. The main problem is that it's also a dry time of year and that seems to getting worse. We can go for weeks without measurable precip and it's taking it's toll.

40c ..no way i would get on the next plane to a nicer climate .. 26c is my limit .. or 30c with a cool breeze . saying that it must have been hotter in Indonesia when we visited and it was more bearable for some reason . was there about 3 months . must admit we headed for the mountains plenty of times .

I took a drive out through the wild lands of northern San Diego County yesterday with my wife. That major heat blast killed off a lot of natives, or, at least severely burned them. The Live Oaks outer layer of leaves got all, well, bleached looking; or with a whitish dead leaf layer over them; blanched by excessive heat. This is looking like a major fire season ahead later this summer, and fall..

I visited Phoenix a few times in summer. All I heard was "it's a dry heat". I call BS on that.Anything over 100 is just damn HOT. The motel had a beautiful pool waterfall palm trees all that. It stayed empty until about 6PM or so. Place felt like a blast furnace in the mildest breeze.
I did like the restaurants though

dry heat vs humid heat
I'd take 110 degrees in Palm Desert with low humidity vs 100 degrees in S.C. with high humidity

Totally.
Some years ago we took a vacation in Big Bend National Park [desert] during August.
It was 108 the day we left, well over a 100+ every day we were there, and it was just fine.
Got back home [sub-tropical climate] where it was 112 with 90% humidity.
If I'd had more time off, I would've just turned around and gone back.
Some speak of what they do not know.
