Oh yeah. Dry heat is still hot! But it's not humid, and that is the difference. I was stationed in Tucson, during which I took a 179 day "vacation" to VietNam, from Aug. 69 to Mar. 71. If you like the desert (I did) it's great. If you don't, don't stay.
When the temp is 100 on the streets at 10PM, it's hot. When you drive and hit an arroyo, the cool air in the arroyo feels like a cold blast of arctic air. Sweat dripping from your armpits feels like a piece of ice when it hits your skin below, too. Swamp coolers were our friends.
