So true. Here in Tucson, the official humidity is 10% and it's around
106 degrees; however, the "dew point" is 41%, which means switching from
evaporative coolers to a/c. It feels "humid" to us here--and yes,
having been raised in the southeast, I KNOW humidity. I think Albu is
higher in elevation, so the atmosphere is thinner and does feel cooler.
The light Out West is marvelous, as Woody's paintings will attest to.
