Hot? Try The midwest on a hot summer day after it rains and the sun comes out. The temperature creeps up to the low nineties. Now this may not sound hot to some of you but it isn't the heat that gets you, its the humidity! I lived in Dallas for a year, spent a week in Vegas when there was never a day that the high temperature was under 107. But I would take either over a hot, humid day in the midwest. I went to the Brickyard 400 this year and it was over 100 degrees that day with about 70% humidity. I have never been that hot for that long in my entire life. Yes, the top was down.

 

 

I believe this is incorrect. I have been to the southern most point in the United States and it is actually called "the southern most point in the United States". At least that's what the sign says. It is in Key West Florida.

 

...and it's not the sun's rays you need to watch out for in Key West!

 

Having grown up in a military family I have lived quite a few places (not just vacationed) so I feel semi-qualified to compare/contrast what exactly "hot" means...

I have lived out west in Arizona (Chandler), New Mexico (Clovis) and Texas (San Antonio, Amarillo & College Station) so I know what the heat is like out there...anyone who says "but it's a dry heat" hasn't truly experienced it...yes, it's dry...but that just sucks the moisture out of your lungs...fortunately, you actually feel some measure of relief when you make it into the shade (though it's still HOT)...

I have also lived in the southeast in Florida (Satellite Beach) and now here in Georgia (Atlanta)...the heat and humidity in Florida are draining...you sweat, but it doesn't go anywhere since there is already so much moisture in the air...so you get no cooling effect...fortunately, there is usually a breeze - especially close to the coast - which helps...

Here in Atlanta, we have a fairly unique set of conditions...we get temps in the low 100's on a regular basis in the summer...high humidity to make things miserable...and typically very little breeze (Atlanta sits in a little bowl)...SO, I would have to say...if you want to complain about being hot, come to Atlanta for a few weeks in August...you will find us all driving with our tops down...hats on...sunscreen lathered...enjoying the S-2000 experience fully......
