There is bituminous coal out your way, isn't there?
So my daughter and her family are at Splash Mountain RV Park just east of Northumberland with their brand new camper trailer for the holiday weekend, and I guess were close to all the action. Fortunately they did not have any damage and are all OK.
You guys are both right. 100+ in the shade when it's super dry feels much better than even say 88 with a 72 dewpoint. Once the monsoon hits, it's a different story.
While it doesn't happen everyday, you can get days where it's 108 with a 65-70 dewpoint, and then it gets brutal.

Beginning Monday, and lasting for at least a week and a half, our highs will likely meet and exceed 110.
And this is part of why it got so chilly. Talk about dry air. It was perfect conditions for some insane radiational cooling. The humidity just after sunset was 2% and the dewpoint was -8.
I get up, get my morning coffee, go sit outside on the patio, and was shocked at how chilly it felt. Looked at the two closest PW stations, and holy crap...
It's 58 degrees...in late June...in Phoenix, AZ!
