I've always lived in hot summers.  In LA it'd get up into the 100s but
like I said, it was dry heat so it wasn't as miserable as it would have
been in the Southeast and Midwest.  Gets quite hot and humid up the
northern part of the Eastern Seaboard too.  I was up in Philly back in
1999 for the Fourth of July and it was over 100 in the shade and the
humidity was in the 90s, making the heat index 105.  As I recall over 40
people died in Philly that weekend because of the heat.

I've never got used to high humidity; it still makes me sweat like a
pig, which I can't stand.  I have central air in my flat, and although I
run it low, it's running 24 hours a day.
