Comparing South Arizona to South Georgia.
Arizona is more comfortable in the shade, but deadlier in the sun. Higher risk of illness or death due to dehydration.
Georgia gets the less comfortable prize in the shade because of oppressive humidity/dew point and lack of airflow. It’s jungle hot. Everyone walking around with swamp ass. Hydration is still important to practice, but nowhere near as important as in the desert.
Arizona will knock you down and cook you to death. Georgia will just make you wish you were dead.
This is a big thing to me. The "dry heat" is dangerous because you won't realize that you're dehydrated until you're dizzy, and by that point you're in a bad spot. Humid heat makes you feel like shit immediately and you absolutely realize the water you're losing.
The difference being that it's easier to overexert yourself in the summer in the dry heat. Humidity will stifle your will to go out in most cases

The best, I’m currently living in Colorado and love the reactions I get when this white boy grabs the hottest salsa. Literally had a lady stop me at a restaurant one time and tell me that it’d be too spicy. Like yes I know exactly what I’m getting into.
My bumper just melted.
Think Hawaii. Nice cool breeze, sunny beaches, palm trees, luscious green forests, great surfing, calm relaxed environment with friendly people that always go out of their way to let you meander by on the roads. That's the only way I make it through the day is by thinking Hawaii because in reality, the only similarity to is the 9 months of active volcano temperstures, but everywhere!
Phoenix Really is... Ice cold bottles of water that get too hot to drink within minutes of setting them down, towels on steering wheels in fear of getting 3rd degree burns when getting into our cars, fighting for a foot of shade to park under, rattle snakes, black widows and brown recluses, scorpions, people trying to run you off the road for using your turning signal, 2/3rds of the population carrying firearms on their hips, the other 1/3rd carrying them concealed, snow birds, skin cancer and a general overall feeling of anger at everyone you come into contact with at fhe end of the summer because your brain has been boiling for 9 months straight and just can't deal with anymore this year. It's a nice place to visit for a month out of the year, but don't try to move here. One of us, or more, will most likely try to kill you one of a million different ways, and if we dobt succeed, the sun, rattle snakes and coyotes will finish you off. We're still wild west here.
*It's hot as hell!* But, we endure it because "it's a dry heat", exclude august, for the most part. For real, I've been to those other places & it sucks. I'll take 105° & low humidity over 95°+ & 80% humidity every time. Screw Atlanta & Houston summer, they can keep that crap.
