I had to chuckle to myself... Royal Norman (what a great name!), the weather guy on 3TV here in Phoenix was summarising the weather at the end of last week. The TV screen showed, in large letters, the following...
"Slightly Warm"
followed by...
"101'F"
![Blink](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/blink.gif)
So I'm curious now - if 'slightly warm' is 101'F, what would 'hot' actually be?!

I agree - some years back we had a June holiday in Florida - 95'F and about 1000000% humidity - I don't think I ever felt dry/comfortable the whole time...

It wasn't that hot up in Maine over the weekend, tapped high 80's low 90's on the Saturday, but it was about 95% humidity at the in-laws and that was crippling.
Humidity is just evil

We get "cold fronts" pass through in the summer. It means the temp goes down from 105 to 98.
My parents get a kick out of that.
