So the very low humidity has a cooling effect?
What's the temperature where you are???

Yes, but I was trying to understand how the temp is 106 but feels 100.
Blech
High overcast. The illusion of cool.
I didn't know you were here.
Surprise! Lol. Right here in the valley, west side.
I'm in the dry desert of AZ also. The supposed "feels like" temp considers the humidity factor (among other things like wind) but it's not always accurate in my opinion. It more depends on the individual and their tolerance for dry heat vs humid heat.
Hubby and I grew up in a humid environment and have been here in the desert for 20 years now. Hubby will sweat like crazy back east in 70F but not sweat here when it's 100F. That doesn't mean it isn't hot though! It sucks me dry and leaves me drained if I don't hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. A breeze will help tremendously, as does the shade. Shade seems to make little difference in a humid environment.
The craziest thing I found was in mid-summer, it can be 115F. If you step out of a pool, you instantly freeze!!
... and I mean shivering cold! It's so dry that the water instantly evaporates and cools like crazy. I couldn't fathom that until I experienced it. Back east, on the other hand, one steps out of the ocean on a hot day and gets hot again quickly.
I'm also in the West Valley
Yeah you didn't quite clip enough out of your image so I figured it out
