I was in the hi desert for 4 yrs., and in 118* heat a few times, that felt like hi 90`s w/ 90`s humidity here to me , except HERE YOU GET SOAKING WET, there u dry faster. I have sat in the shade here, drinking iced tea, and sweated like hell, very uncomfortable to work in. The wind out there was a ***** for an outside worker when the sand storms blow up !~ West te3xas is hot and dry from what I`ve seen of it, used to have an uncle down there.
