It's pronounced naval. I'm a phonetic learner. Belly button.
You did use the wrong word. If you were my student, I’d mark your paper wrong.

...but it's a dry heat!  :laugh1::laugh2:
I wish!

Right now it's 106 feels like 122 -- that's due to humidity, not dryness.

Of course, there's a good joke about "the dry heat":
"So is fire".

But just saying the effective heat out loud (to a human being, a status which I lay claim to) is crazy.

"A hundred and twenty-two degrees". That's too hot for life.

In my experience, dry weather is worse for your health. If the winter is dry, I always get sick. This is also why I don't like air conditioning. They make the rooms terribly dry.
