Well, I've been to Badwater without A/C in August. Compared to that, Lone Pine is the north pole. There is a huge difference between 100 and 120 degrees in the shade when it comes to a human organism.
Yup, there sure is. Personally, I find 95F and the high humidity that sometimes occurs in the midwest nearly intolerable.
tell me about it... 96 and humid a few days ago, then tornadoes and massive rain/hail. Next day 57 as a high. one day you run the AC, next day you heat the house again.
but 120 - hey, it's a dry heat... yeah.
