Riverside gets HOT, and if you think 100 is hot, just wait till you're in Palm Springs in the summer, or worse-Phoenix.

A coupla nights ago I called my sister.. it was 99 degrees...at NINE PM!

The other day, according to the weather report..it was 125 in Death Valley.

If you live in Eureka where it rains constantly, the fog might burn off by 5 PM (if you're lucky), and where 66 degrees is considered HOT in the summer, you don't need A/C, otherwise...
I've been to Phoenix, Nevada, You name it, I've probably been there. There is humidity there, Which make's it worse...
Don't have a vehicle with A/C. Never have...

How many vehicles have you owned?

Humidity is almost non-existant in AZ except for the monsoon month of August.

There's no humidity in Nevada that I'm aware of...the Desert Southwest is well known for its dry heat.

You wanna experience humidity, Houston is the place, along with the eastern seaboard, the Great Lakes and Florida for a coupla examples.

Have you been to Paris, Berlin, London or Rome? Prolly not...they can be found in the US...and in Festung Europa.

Did someone say naptime?? It's a little humid here this morning. Just enough so that you can actually SEE the air.
