Your indoor heat vs. outdoor heat is curious.   Temperature, dew point and relative humidity are causally intertwined.   If the temp. in the dome is 80 degrees and it's humid inside due to all the bodies, perspiration, etc. that raises the moisture level in the air increasing the dew point.  Therefore, if the humidity level is very high 85% + in the dome, the dew point would be inching closer to the ambient temperature of 80 degrees.  At 100% relative humidity, the dew point inside the dome would equal its max (saturation) temperature of 80 degrees, as the dew point can never exceed the ambient temp.  However, that mark would be literally like a sauna inside the dome, and unbearable (unless you wanted to dress like that Hoosier girl in the dome a couple of years back  ;):)).

If it is humid inside the dome, it can not be physiologically dry, that would be quite the scientific phenomenon.  If you are captioning 'dry' heat, then the relatively humidity would be extremely low as would the dew point...hence the Arizona dry heat analogy, but certainly not accurate relative to the dome moisture/comfort levels and your dry heat relative to Florida comparison.  Humidity equals humidity no matter where it is.  If you want to compare the [I]heat index[/I] relative to humidity, dew points and ambient temperatures, well now that's a horse of a different color...
