The sun can be intense. But, of course, the trick is to stay hydrated. In addition to lots of water, I'll drink down a couple of bottles of Pedialyte which works excellent for keeping up electrolytes.

Most baseball is done here by June. But there are a few leagues going on in July and August. Sure, it's a, "dry heat," most of the year, but late summer months are in Monsoon season when the humidity rises and we get dust storms, microbursts, widespread lightning, and scattered heavy rains. That's when it starts getting oppressive.
