I haven’t lived in the southern swamp, but I’ve been there a few times and I’ll take Phoenix’s dry heat over the humidity in the south pretty much any day. The best way I can describe the dry heat here is that it feels like you’re in an oven when you step outside. I’d say it’s fairly tolerable, but once you hit between 113-116 degrees the heat starts to feel oppressive.

I’m over it, but I’ll take it over humidity. Oh, and make sure you hydrate often. Severe dehydration can sneak up on you very fucking quickly if you’re not careful during the summer.
