I agree with Barbie2be. But in California, it's a dry heat.
Lucky you! Here, it's as humid as the brig!
"Hot" takes on another meaning, too! She blogs from a place I wish to visit!
hey, YK, come on down!
Since attending Outward Bound, the southwest seemed a good place to live.
i have always loved the desert southwest. i am SO not a humidity girl. Austin almost killed me it was so humid.
Ohio is pretty, though quite humid in summer. Perhaps I was meant to live in the southwest!
Hello, Yoga,
A hot arid climate is nice. Evaporative coolers or "swamp coolers" use much less energy than AC, and work just as well as AC, in a dry climate.
The desert is full ot beautiful life.
Thanks for reading, Jimbo! I'll look into that evaporative cooling.
Wherever there is a dry heat, like Arizona, evap coolers a wonderful. They cool the air down and raise the humidity in the house. I grew up in Arizona, and we had both an air conditioner and evap cooler.
Even in Arizona, there were days that were too humid for the evap cooler to make a difference.
Me? I spent as much time as I could in the pool!
