Dry Heat

I don't like the phrase "...but at least it's a dry heat..." in reference to Arizona summers. It is applicable for most of the year, but right around the end of June/beginning of July is when the monsoon season arrives, thus the dramatic increase in humidity....it is most definitely not a dry heat. It is sticky, muggy, and HOT!

I do not like being hot. I don't like the heat (dry or wet). Not at all. My plants die, my evaporative cooling stinks (both literally and figuratively) , and wearing my hair down is just not an option. Why do I still live here?
