Yeah, when I lived in Phoenix, my house had a swamp cooler (imagine a fan blowing air past a wet beach towel- no compressor, so cheaper than AC) and regular AC. In July and August the dew point and humidity were so high that the swamp cooler basically blew hot, humid air into the house and I had to turn it off and use the AC.
Last time I was in Phoenix I visited a warehouse stocking satellite TV equipment. The temperature must have been around 45°C (you do the math). That would be illegal in the UK. Everyone would have been sent home. But in the USA apparently it's OK to cook your workers.

45°C = 113°F
