Holy crap it's hot!

Gosh I can’t imagine what 118F feels like.  I was in some 105+ temp in Arizona once on a trip, but it was a dry heat and easier to take than a 95F humid day here in the south.

I spent a few months in Yuma AZ back in 1989 at the Marine base there. It was incredibly hot but very dry so quite manageable actually. Nothing like the Middle East though. No wonder people over there are always fighting. Also spent the month of November in 88 in Las Vegas while at Nellis Air Force base. Was quite surprised at how hot it got there too being so late in the year. In the morning there would be a light dusting of snow on the mountain tops in the distance but by afternoon the temps were in the 90s.
