re: Arizona Heat vs Louisiana Heat

I live in Arizona, lived in Arkansas for 30 years. Both are tough. The fire starts because we don't get any rain. Crazy but when we get good rain in the winter it makes things grow that then dies in late spring because of lack of water. Makes it a kindle box. Fire starts because of careless people.

Here's to hoping for a decent monsoon this year.
California is going to be worrisome this fire season, too, if/when they go dry. Everything greened up like crazy with the slow fire season last year and the wet, drought busting Fall and Winter they had. One went up in Norcal a few days ago and it ran 12,000 acres in less than 36 hours, and that's without drought and with decent humidity. It was purely wind driven and burning through fuel that wasn't even all that primed.

Well, here’s a sort of heat war story. Vietnam is a slightly hotter, more humid version of southern Louisiana.
Think of a hot, thick, late August morning when you dread walking to your car. Now imagine that all day and all night from March till November. The heat and humidity does not let up.
However, being from Acadiana, I had a leg up on most of my fellow Marines while hiking the humid triple canopy mountains and looming elephant grass hills. Lot more northern/western guys dropped out because of the Nam heat than us Gulf Coast baws.
Like actor Matthew Broderick said (paraphrased) in the movie “Biloxi Blues” when arriving at a military base on the Gulf Coast —“This is hot. I mean really hot. It’s like Africa hot; Tarzan couldn’t take this”.

Houston at the old zoo in July.
New Orleans at the Audubon Zoo in August.
A wild Tiger Stadium at 6 pm in September.
Maybe I ought to stay away from zoos.

Just moved here last year. The heat here is a ton better. Stay out of the sun and you are fine. Dont be a dumbass and try to hike.
Humidity finds you wherever you are.
I am literally sitting out by the pool listening to the Braves (yes a replay) and it’s 93 degrees and dark. It’s extremely nice. If I was in the southeast I would be sweating my arse off.
ETA: hardest thing to adapt to is the dogs and not scorching their feet.

Louisiana heat does suck but honestly, Orlando and Tampa from July-October is so miserable. It’s legit like wearing a heated up wet towel while outside in the afternoons. That was the nastiest i ever felt being outside for a while during the summer months

I'll take 92 and humid, and likely to rain every afternoon, in South Louisiana versus 102 and bone dry in Arizona.

100 in Vegas is nowhere near as bad as upper 80’s with humidity in the 70’s in New Orleans
It is so much more miserable in the humidity, even when the temp is 10-15 degrees less

the overnight lows in Phoenix push 90 degrees. I would not call that "cool".
It is when the humidity is 14% compared to pushing 90 degrees at 70% humidity

People say dry heat is better, just don’t forget. A pizza cooks in dry heat

At their peak i say South La. Dont get me wrong that dry heat will burn that arse up. But walking out the front door at 5am and being soaked before you step foot in your car sucks worse! I gotta go with the home state for the win

We were at Disneyworld two weeks ago and it was 98 and 99 in Orlando with humidity. Might be the hottest I've ever been in my life.
making me sweat just thinking about it.

Go run range 410a or range 400 at 29 Palms in July/August and tell me which sucks more between desert heat and swamp heat.

My stepson lived in Vegas for a couple years and had 2 summers there. Came back to N.O. for a visit in July one year and was miserable because of the humidity.
He said although it got higher temperatures almost daily in Vegas during the summer he would at least feel relief if in a shaded area but N.O.'s heat was everywhere.

The last few days here in South LA have actually been a fairly dry heat. It's brutal but in the shade it's actually kinda nice.
The humidity will return soon and make you feel like your soul is being drained from your body.
Agree. Humidity has been in the 40% range and may drop to around 35% today. It's forecast to be around 93-94 with a heat index of 96-97. Still hot but in the middle of last June, it was around the same temp but the humidity was 60%-70%. Heat Index was up over 105. Just miserable.
