I remember my days in Saudi... 140* 5% humidity. It wasn't so bad and I had a still.Wimp....Just kidding!
In the summer of 2000, my family was at the grand canyon for 8-9 days. It was over 90 ever day but the humidity was below 10-15%. I LOVED it. I totally understand the "But it is a dry heat" statement. It rarely gets below 60% here in the summer, even during a drought.

I did once wash and blow dry a little parrot who flew into a fly strip!
