Oh, my, Evie! I'll second that!! The front door of my house is in a recessed alcove where the sun never hits it - on these hot summer days the door knob is hot to the touch!
Oh, the wonderfulness of "dry" heat: dried-out sinuses sometimes leading to nosebleeds, dried out skin that even moisturizer doesn't help much, dry eyes often requiring a constant supply of eye drops, the constant need for frequent drinking to ward off dehydration, if you accidentally leave your cell phone (or some other kind of plastic device like maybe a hand-held calculator) on your car seat the plastic on the device will melt (true!), fighting dry air inside your home with maybe a humidifier, acute increase in fire danger.
Would I happily trade our "dry" heat climate for one with high-humidity heat?
Well, actually. . . no, not so much.
There are things to be said, pro and con, on both sides of the equation!
