Dry heat is not really a joke. I watched the weather reports about the recent heat wave in the Pacific Northwest that killed over a hundred people. The relative humidity was only 17%. All they had to do to stay cool was sit in the shade with a hose pipe. Keep yourself wet. Evaporative cooling will freeze you.
We were once in Stovepipe when the afternoon temp was 108 per the pool thermometer. I swam around for a few minutes and got out. I thought I was going to freeze to death. I had chills. The water was flash evaporating like lighter fluid. It was a lesson on the power of evaporative cooling.
