Dry heat vs humid heat

I live in California. And each summer we will get a few bad heatwaves. While I'm sweltering under 115F (46C) conditions I'll suddenly have someone on the internet tell me that "at least it is a dry heat!" Which sort of makes me want to punch the wall. Which I won't do....of course because of the heat that I apparently shouldn't even notice. :rolleyes:



So....dry heat vs humid heat.

DRY HEAT	HUMID HEAT
Easy to dehydrate	Easy to get heat stroke

Which is truly worse?
