It's the humidity. Fans normally work by circulating dry air and evaporating moisture from the skin (i.e., sweat). However, in the South, the humidity means that basically you're just blowing moist air that doesn't evaporate much of anything. You really have to have Air Conditioning in the South.

I basically say keep yourself well-hydrated. Next time you reach for a soda, get some ice water instead; it's better for your system. Having thrown up once from heat exhaustion at a summer Boy Scout camp leaves me with the experience to know that much water=very good. *sips his Dr Pepper while typing this, ironically enough* Also, I've been a fan of sticking my face in the freezer when I come in from the heat outside and need a quick cool-down.

I recall once I had to walk home after school in intense heat and humidity (living in southeast Texas), whereas it was normally a bus route. I had to stay after for about 5 minutes or something and missed my bus...and both my parents worked so I couldn't get someone to pick me up. The heat index must have been above 110F. Being overweight and pasty-white really didn't help, either, so after hiking home over a mile, I literally stripped entirely naked and layed on my bed, holding a small fan over different parts of my body to cool off.

11. Sleep in basement or first floor as I will be tonight.

16. Lay naked on a tile surface.

Buy an air conditioner or go swimming.

I don't know what else you should do, but I know what you shouldn't do.

1. DON'T wear an extra shirt under your scout uniform and walk in a Memorial day parade that is about a mile and a half long.

2. When you get to the end of the parade and go watch the ceremony, DON'T stand in the sun. Go find shade.

3. DON'T pass out from being overheated if you didn't follow "don't's number 1 and 2."

4 DON'T say I didn't warn you. When you hit your face on the ground when you fall down, don't complain to me.

5. DON'T be an idiot. That's my job.

I have a pool. It's a lifesaver.

You can't sleep in a pool.

What a coincidence. I just got out of a very nice, very cool shower. It's about 85 degrees in my apartment, so staying cool has been on my mind a lot this past week.

85 degrees is hot? Wimp.

Here where I live 85 degrees is downright cool. The hottest it gets is 110. Get down into the 60's and we're all wearing sweaters.

So yeah, Arizona is creepy and weird.

Jones' 85 is a very different from your Arizona 85. Deal with a little bit of humidity and see how you feel.
I've been in 100 heat in Arizona and it felt great. Your sweat actually evaporates and cools you.
