Our temperature gauge inside the RV shows the temps and humidity for the outside, the top numbers, and the inside temps underneath. So it has been getting up to 104 each day we have been here in Quartzsite, Arizona so far. It may drop into the 90's by the weekend. The humidity is next to nothing so I try to let the steam from the shower escape out into the RV to try and bump it up more. We drink water almost non stop. RV air conditioners are not very efficient so they only cool the place down about 10 degrees. Usually, that is ok because if its in the nineties then it is only in the 80's in the RV and we don't mind 80's. At least it cools off as soon as the sun goes down so by the time we go to bed it is a more comfortable 80 degrees.
The dryness is a problem in some ways. It can mean bloody noses if your not careful. We like it dry outside because then the dirt is nice and dry for our gold mining. We use a dry washer to run dirt through like a sluice but with no water. It's a dusty business but we have found a few specs of gold so I guess its worth getting hot and dusty. We've been going out at 5AM while it is still dark. We get all set up and are ready to run by daylight. We last about two hours and then the sun and heat and the shoveling do us in and we have to call it a day. It's great exercise but won't make you rich.
