>Humid? I know they now have some humidity in AZ, but they still don't know what humid really means.

No, it really was humid... it's not supposed to be humid there when it's this hot, but it was an exceptional few days, probably because the monsoons were on their way. Everybody was talking about how unusually humid it was.

I was in Northern FL in August last year, and Phoenix wasn't much less humid than that was.


The Southwest's summer rainy season [July, August] is not very well understood outside of the SW. First of all, it mostly rains only in the mts but it can rain in places like Phoenix as well. Secondly, it definitely can make things humid. However, its mostly the exception, not the rule.

Having said that, places like Phoenix and LA are becoming more humid generally due to the addition of swimming pools and lawn sprinkler systems. At one time, LA was so dry, they recommended it as a place for asthmatics but no longer.
