No, it's far more "hot feeling" here because of the humidity. A huge difference between 100 degress here compared to the SW desert areas. There's a thing called the "Heat Index" which takes into account the amplifying effect of humidity on how hot it actually feels to a person.

I've found that when I'm in that (Southwest) area for any length of time (even a week), my sinuses get all dried out, my skin gets dry, and it's very easy to get dehydrated. I don't like that very much. Here in Florida I've gotten fairly adjusted to the humidity and although it feels hotter, it's more comfortable in some ways. No doubt that the summers can be challenging in that regard, although there's a pool or a beach not far away. ;-) Honestly it's no worse than enduring a long cold winter for half the year (which I have also done for years at a time). I prefer the warmth.
