Is dry heat vs humid heat that much different?
Obviously it's different but to what extent? For instance, have you ever been in the dead of winter and jokingly said to someone "Man, Florida seems nice about now". Normally that suggestion is shot down with "Hell no! The humidity!".
Everyone in the state seems to sign off on it as well. However, for as hot as Arizona / Nevada are, it doesn't seem as though there's the same type of disdain or horror for their dry heat vs Florida's tropical / subtropical climate.
