I thing you must be confusing Arizona and Florida. I can believe
Phoenix was 120 degrees and that Florida had 95% humidity. But I can't
believe Phoenix has ever seen 95% humidity on a summer afternoon. 9.5%
maybe. :-)
See: <http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather.php3?s=087227>
Morning and evening average relative humidities are about 2/3 the way
down the page.
