Yes, I remember Phoenix in Aug quite vividly. It would be 105 by 10am and
then whether the temps would rise to 113 or 118 was a daily crap shoot. I
didn't mind too much, being young and just down from IL, where humity
sometimes hit 102%! Plus, I'm from CA, where they have a few hot-spells
over 100, sometimes 110+. But, to put up with that kind of heat, day and
day out, no thanks. It became quite tedious to have to open your car door
with a rag or whatever to avoid a first degree burn. Who wants to live like
that? I know, I know..... Arizonians. Go figure.
