It was 95 here today and I never touched the AC on the Fiesta. Temperature is one thing but when you get temperature and extreme humidity, it's another thing altogether.

My oldest brother joined the Marine Corps in the late 60s. He told me he would take 119 in Arizona with low humidity over 99 in the swamps around Paris Island anytime, and he was in both places. I think two years ago it hit 109 here with a dew point in the high seventies (very humid).

It's nice that my wife actually tolerates the heat well, but when it gets past 95 she is ready for some AC.
