Christopher:
I will agree that Texas is hot, but it is not the hottest place on the planet. However, what you say is true. Phoenix and the surrounding area suffer from what we call a 'dry heat' which is the same thing that happens in the Middle East (when you get away from the shoreline) and most other desert areas. It is extremely dangerous as you don't know how much water you are loosing trying to keep cool (guestiamates are about one gallon/hour if you are in 130 (50-60 C) heat.) Yes, I've been in that type of heat. I've been in the pouring rain where the temperatures are in the 90s. It is VERY uncomfortable and you wish the rain would cool you down and it does not. This is dangerous because you cannot loose the extra heat your body generates. In both cases, the solution is simple for most folks: Get indoors with some sort of air conditioning (in Phoenix, because of the rising humidity, evaporative coolers no longer can cool you safely.)

Not Texas is not hot, are you kidding me? I have lived in North Texas
for the last 9 years now and I can tell you it gets very hot, in fact we
have had 100+ days for the last several days and if you don't think that
is not hot then I guess you must live somewhere around Phoenix, Las
Vegas or Death Valley. I have lived in all three of those places, Las
Vegas for 10 years, Phoenix for 5 years and Death Valley for 2 years and
yes it gets hot there, as well. I remember the day I left Phoenix to
move to Dallas, it was 122 but it truly was a dry heat which is much
easier to take than hot humid areas. Try 112 with 98% humidity, you will
swear that you have died and went to Hades. I know of only two other
places I have been to when it gets that hot that is worse, Houston and
San Antonio. Houston is every worse that North Texas, not only because
their humidity that never goes away and seems to be hotter longer during
the year than North Texas.
