I was out there Aug 08 dropping my oldest son off @ ASU, it was the first time I had been back there in 22 yrs, it hovered around 105* the whole time, I'll take it, the few months or so that it's brutal is far better than the winter months here, and even in the summer it seems like 50% of the weekends it rains.
Enjoy it , moving away from there was one of the biggest mistakes I've made...and hope to remedy it in the next five years or so, take a ride out to the Scottsdale Pavillions this Saturday evening and then tell me how bad you got it.
I know all about the cold and humidity; they suck majorly. I am just saying, its March 3rd and 80 already; which means 90's are very close which means 100's are not far behind. You know, in the summer, sometimes our low is higher than your high. I do know this, I hate the cold more than the heat, so I won't be moving from here anytime soon. I always told myself, the first time it snows here and sticks, I am moving.

Actually, if its 115 outside, its probably more like 110 in the shade or if there is a breeze, mabye 105. I have never seen it here be 115 and feel 95; that would be pretty great actually.

I've always wondered though, if people have outside pools or yards in arizona and the dust storms that people complain about over there move through, how do things not get dirty.
Oh, I know all about humidity, and it sucks big ass. But, 115 is still 115, dry heat or not. And nothing stays clean in a huge dust storm. I feel sorry for the people with pools and no pool cover.
