I'm sorry, but that is too hot for human habitation

Too Hot?

I'll take 115 in Phoenix any day over 100 in KS with 40+% humidity. It's brutal.

Yesterday was brutal!
Stepping outside felt like walking into a sauna. Hard to even breathe in this crap

I lived in Tuscon and San Diego about 15 years ago. San Diego is heaven, weather-wise, but AZ is pretty nice, too
Cracks me up when Arizonans complain about 110f temps. Dry heat is nothing! At least when the wind blows, you get cooled off.
When the wind blows here, it feels like Satan is asking you to smell his breath

The humidity is brutal. As you know we get that right after a monsoon but it dissipated pretty fast. With the low humidity it doesn't feel hot until about 105. In the 90s is comfortable. People from out of state think I'm crazy when I say that but they think in terms of 50% humidity.

4.5 million people disagree.

I am a So. California native myself. Born and raised and left about 9 years ago. Cost of living is too crazy, it's always been crowded (just a lot worse now), what you pay in taxes and what you get in return is out of whack and the crumbling infrastructure and is just sad. Love the weather but Phoenix is pretty damned good too and when it gets hot I remind myself the appreciation from my former California home paid my twice as nice Phoenix home in full. Now if we can do something about the crazy AND imept politicians we'd be better off in both AZ and CA.
