When I lived in south & central FL, it was brutal. It would get super hot & humid - then it would pour rain every day at 4 or 5PM - rain like the end of the frickin' world, then it would stop, and the parking lot would just steam like a frying pan full of hot water.
People would walk out of a store, and their glasses would instantly fog so badly that they couldn’t see.
I had to work outdoors a lot, installing cell sites - we tried to complete all our work before 9AM, because it got so awful. The heat just saps your energy so bad. I worked for a power company, putting in telecom gear into their substations. One day it hit 116F, with 90% humidity - and I was stuck from 8AM to 4PM out in a gravel-filled substation. The gravel was good at retaining and reflecting heat up. Real nice with steel toed boots, jeans, long sleeve shirt, and hard hat. I think my brain actually began to smoke a little. Of course, that's why Florida has a high concentration of Hooters restaurants, and plenty of cold beer to go 'round.
(BTW, according to NOAA's "heat index calculator" -a 90F day, with 90% humidity feels like 121.9. 116F with 90% humidity feels like 298.2...yikes, that's Africa hot. Can that be right?)

I lived in Texas. It was almost as bad as FL. I used to live in Phoenix too. 123 degrees is still 123 degrees. The heat in your oven is dry too. Oh yeah, and egss WILL fry on the sidewalk! :D

I lived in New Mexico for a year - like you say, 123 is hot, no matter what.
I remember when we first got there, my brother & I used to see these long, thin, brightly colored stripes in all the parking lots there. We didn’t figure out until later what it was. Kids there take their used-up chewing gum, and stick it to the rear bumper of cars. It heats, melts, drips down (but does not break), and sticks to the pavement. Then when the car leaves, it stretches for about 50 yards before breaking. Amazing.

Its not as bad as Florida and I thank to God for that, but we have lots of moscitos(they didn't waked yet from winter sleep), air often happens to be humid and hot, ofcourse for Polish standards not Florida ones... Now is okey cold rain flushed all heat, but tomorow sun will raise all the wetnes from the soil and we will have sauna again... I hate such weather from deepnes of my heart...

There is a difference between wet and dry bulb temperature readings. 123 degrees for a dry bulb setting and 123 degrees for a wet bulb setting are two different environments to calculate cooling requirements. That is why steam burns are some of the worst burns you can encounter, two states of medium to transfer heat.

I've been in Florida for more than 30 years and have never heard of the temperture ever reaching anything approaching 116 degrees anywhere in the state.
The all time record high temp for the state is 109 deg F / 43 deg C set June 29, 1931 at Monticello. Monticello is northeast of Tallahassee FL ..near the Georgia border (southwest of Valdosta, GA).

I think you’re right - I thought that heat index looked crazy...it must be that the heat index itself was 116F - that's more in line with the historical data. It's funny you mentioned Monticello - that's where I was working out of - spent a lot of time on this job in Live Oak, Quincy, Jasper, Otter Creek, Apalachicola etc. I worked there in 02 & 03 - it was August I think - high 90's with relative humidity around 55% would give a heat index of 116. I found North & Central FL to be way hotter than South FL.
Had some pretty spectacular thunderstorms there - and a handful of hurricanes - but nothing like the weather in KS. I lived there 5 years - you get the same thing - gets hot & humid, then a wave of cooler air rolls through in the afternoon and you get storms. But in KS you get ass-kicking storms like this lovely F5 tornado I got stuck in '91 (destroyed most of the base & my wife's truck!). Pretty freaky to hear the base siren go off like that - not a pleasant experience. Had another tornado a week later, that followed almost the same path.

Florida blows all around, I keep saying that. Too f^cking hot, the kind of heat that takes your breath away. The women are not all that good looking, the roaches are everywhere, and they can get quite big. It rains at the drop of a hat, huge raindrops that can hurt if you get caught in it, and if its hot that day the humidity can be miserable. Its hard to sleep at night without the air on, if you take a shower before going out your already sweating by the time you reach your car in the driveway. Not to mention tropical storms will become more prevelent as the world heats up. Some parts of southern florida like key west will evacuate 12 times or more in one summer. miserable.
