Where I live (Melbourne, Australia at present) we also have a very dry heat.... We sometimes get a northerly wind which blows in from the desert, so the air is extremely dry. I do usually have problems with headaches in very hot weather, but now I'm expecting the problem is to do with dehydration so I'm looking forward to knowing how to combat it!

Thanks for sharing your experience.... :)
