Dry heat is actually WORSE and causes more problems because people NEVER realize they are sweating or losing moisture because it evaporates immediately with rarely any skin moisture.
My buddy was a park ranger in Las Vegas near Hoover dam and Lake Mead and he would tell me stories of all the people he would need to rescue who went hiking in 100 degree weather with a single pint of water.
