I thought you were used to wondering about that?

Yeah, good point.

Without reading the whole thread I gotta say. Aw come on Deb, it's a dry heat. LOL Really when we lived up there we could handle 15 degrees hotter due to the dryness. When we would go visit family in Long Beach we'd just swelter (it was like 85). Now we live deep in the humidity of TX. What were we thinking. Heck 108 in the dry heat sucks no matter how dry it is.

They're actually in a humid spell down there right now. It's about 80% humidity, and thunderstorming. I'm about 5 hours north of Debi, and I am definitely experiencing dry heat (18%). I tried to wash my truck the other day, and it was drying right behind the sponge. I couldn't even get it rinsed. Still, much better than that muggy stuff you have.

That's why my hubby washed the vehicles. lol

The funny part was, I parked the truck under a tree on the (loosely defined) *lawn*

to make the water do double duty (actually triple duty, since I had showered with the water in the bucket) but I doubt any of it reached the ground. We are triple digits in heat, but only teens in the humidity. We say it is semi-arid, but right now, no denying it, this is the desert.

Between the dry heat and the desert breeze washing your car is a loosing battle.

The only thing better about the desert thunderstorms than ours is that you get to watch the lightening through the hills towards Vegas.

I'm not getting those thunderstorms....yet. It's just hot and dry. That reminds me, better get something done before it gets too hot!

It is SOOOO not dry. Not even close to normal. Normal is 8-10%, lately its been 80-90% GASP!
