Egypt, you say? Yeah, that's a dry heat...

Jump out of an aircraft in MOP-4 really makes it fun.

You want to know hot? Let me tell you of the 4th Of July fishbake of 2012, when it reached 107 by early afternoon, and the humidity made it feel like so much worse.

It was tragic. Old people keeling over left and right, kids sizzling on the sidewalks like slabs of bacon. I brag about being able to take the heat, but that? Man, it was oppressive.

I'm a Floridian I understand hot but I'm in Germany on the same latitude as Newfoundland its not supposed to be hot.

Yes, warm temperatures are a lot easier to cope with when the heat takes the form of dry heat.

Twice in my life I have lived in countries where for the three months of summer, the temperatures ranged from the mid 30s (Celsius - mid 90s F) to the low or mid 40s. When the heat is dry heat, (as it was in one of the two countries), it is a lot more bearable.
