People have already been doing the same thing in the south since...ever. :laughing
 
Good article.

I could NEVER live there in the summer.
 
Europeans visiting, sure have a different take over the locals.
"dry heat", disappears when monsoon hits town.
Hopi say that some of the storms of monsoon are not Ma Nature, but magic.
I agree, , ,
 
i've never really visited phoenix but i have flown through. it was impressed by the fact that nobody would sit within about 20 feet of the windows due to the heat. i think this was in january about 20 years ago

also phoenix is also pronounced the same as Furnace
 
This is probably the future for a lot of the central valley and inland empire unfortunately. Rode through there in May, didn't take the time to explore downtown but it mostly feels like someone took Denver and plopped it into the desert. Pretty country around there but I doubt I could afford enough AC to live there.
 
Their weather forecast shows a hundred degrees and possible thunderstorm in the same day, yuck. You guys ever fly into sky harbor in august? It's a little scurry!
 
I know that in club track and field, in Arizona they split their meets, having a morning session then an evening session to avoid competing during the hottest hours of the day.
 
My brother lives in Tuscon, he hates when it rains because then it's hot AND humid. :laughing
 
From a radio commercial touting some Arizona resort, “it’s like a sage-scented sauna.” Hahahahaha

Fixed that spelling for you. :teeth

Also, it doesn't stay humid long. Shit dries up like a popcorn fart within 30 minutes. You want heat AND humidity? Come visit us instead. :cool
 
I don’t like being outside when it’s 85F
Won’t be hitting the tourist traps of Phoenix

I have visited New Orleans in August. :cry
 
I watch LA news @ 11pm, after the 10pm Arizona news from Phoenix.
Big change from the "weather girls". Phoenix is hot @ 116, LA is hot @ 97,
Both act as if this is deadly to be out and about.
One lady, NBC LA is quite graceful walking backwards in high heels, pointing out the weather issues on green screen, she does laps every nite.
