Okay so arizona really is not as hot as everyone says because its a dry heat. With very low humidity, 100F in arizona can feel like 85F. Agree or disagree? And why?

I think it really depends. A place like Florida is pretty humid, and it can feel awful since you're sticky all the time. But in terms of becoming dehydrated, the risk is relatively minimal. In Arizona, you can become dehydrated without evening knowing it. There are certain symptoms to dehydration, like becoming dizzy or light-headed. The problem is that by the time you have those symptoms, you are *very* dehydrated.
