Arizona State Fair 'dry heat' jokes

At the annual Arizona State Fair held each October at the Arizona State Fairgrounds, attendees and locals commonly joke about enduring the desert 'dry heat' even during fall events. The fair routinely reports high daytime temperatures, and local media coverage frequently mentions the heat and water-safety messaging, which reinforces the recurring joke. The phrase 'it's a dry heat' is a documented part of Phoenix-area weather humor.
