Perhaps just smidge.
Not entirely sure the two go together. Australia is the driest continent, yet has temperatures in desert areas of around 50+C. I have this perception that high rainfall is linked to high humidity, but I might be wrong
Within my lifetime, in this state the summer temperatures have increased from an average of below 35C (90F) to an average of around 35C, with a week at a time of 42C ( 107.6F) and above. Our summers have remained dry. Only 1/5 of the state receives more than 10 inches of rain year. Less than half of that has more than 16 inches.
Can't claim to understand much about the way rainfall works. I was based in Malaysia and Singapore for 14 months (army, conscript). I remember the temperature a was steady 90F, and humidity always around 60% . Humidity at this time of year (spring) in South Australia is around 40%. This rises in winter up to 74%. That's when we get most of our rain.
