Sounds like Miami, every day I look at the temperature and it's like 82-90, feels like 100. Literally every day since like late May/early June, the weather report says "oppressive humidity, extreme caution" since it hangs around 70-85% with a dew point in the mid 70s. This isnt event record breaking either. Whenever the humidity drops down to like 60% and the temp is in the low 80s I'm like "it's actually cool out for once" even though the real feel is like 92.
It's been cloudy and rainy for like the past two weeks, so at least the pool is back to a cool/comfortable temperature and not like bathwater every day.
As awful as Phoenix heat is, it has nothing on the humidity factor of Florida, or even the DC metro.
The worst thing about Phoenix heat, is that because land was so cheap, it is quite literally just a gigantic sprawling paved suburban hellscape.
Aside from the aesthetics, there's so much pavement that it doesn't cool down at night much at all. It just retains all that heat, right up until the sun comes up the next day.
I’ve lived in PHX in 1991 and it still got really hot but it cooled off a ton during the night. 45°F swings were the norm.
Now you’re lucky to get under 100 by midnight 😭😭😭
I'm originally from NJ and whenever I go back home I forget how much the temperature drops up there during the summer, even though the humidity stays the same (or increases drastically). It'll be 85-90 during the day but 65-70 at night with 90% humidity, which just makes it feel colder. Here in Miami the temperature drops like 5 degrees when the sun goes down and the humidity stays the same.
