Dry or wet heat?

Tweet

I know it isn't summer in the USA but for those of you in, let's say, Australia who are complaining about the heat do you have a choice? Every summer there are arguments about Florida's 'humidity' and Arizona's 'dry' heat. All I ever heard from the southwest that at least it isn't as humid as it in Florida or that I couldn't live in South Florida with all that heat and humidity Whether dry or wet heat over a 100 is HOT--you will burn your fingers on the car handle, the door into your house, etc.--and we haven't had a recorded temperature near a 100 in many years.And I don't remember the last time the thermometer hit 100 degrees in Fort Lauderdale! Not to be completely 'nasty' I will admit you can't dive into the ocean to cool off here--the water temperature is usually warmer than the land temperature and that sand can be hot. Hopefully you saw "The Inconvenient Truth" or have read the majority--a large majority--of scientists who talk about the earth getting/being hotter and the ocean levels rising. You could learn very easy ways to get the earth's temperatures cooler but more important how you can make your home and environment cooler--oh, I forgot, some people don't believe global warming and/or weather patterns are changing! Anyway it is a reminder to those in the Northern part of the USA that summer is on the way! Do you believe the atmosphere surrounding earth is changing? Do you have a preference for dry or wet heat?
