Go to Astrakhan-Kalmykia, it's no less hot there in summer. In Elista, when I was vacationing there, I ordered large bottles of water at home. Salt water was coming out of the tap .

The funny thing is that phoenix can get snowy winters despite being so hot in summer, so you get a taste of everything.

Snowy winters? I've lived in Phoenix for 30 years. I've seen snow exactly one time and it evaporated as soon as it hit the ground. Hail? Sure, that happens often and not always in the winter because of what hail actually is and how it's formed in the atmosphere -having less to do with requiring frigid temps. But it definitely doesn't snow in Phoenix.

The latest scam is that we have huge companies like TSMC moving to AZ because the officials would rather focus on making more capital than fix the homeless or drug problem.

The Phoenix Metro area covers two counties (Maricopa and Pinal) and contains 9 of the 10 largest cities or towns in Arizona, with only Tucson, at number 2, not being part of the metroplex, although even Tucson effectively borders the metro area's southern border. All of the top 10 cities contain over 100,000 residents, with Phoenix proper having a population over 1.6 million, and Mesa (3rd in the state) having over 500,000. It also covers over 14.5 thousand square miles. The Phoenix area is HUGE.

Dry heat is hell whenever I go to the desert I have to smear my entire body with Vaseline

My parents moved to that area a few years ago. Honestly, it's a nightmare for kids. Summertime temperatures are too hot to go outside between 9am and ~8:30pm. We walked with a seven-year-old to a playground around lunchtime and the poor girl was dealing with heat exhaustion within twenty minutes of getting there. Beyond that, the lots are all concrete, and gravel. My parents got a house that's quadruple the price and 2.5x the floorspace of our house, but it doesn't feel anywhere near as useable, as you are always in everyone's auditory and visual range, bumping up against each other all the time in the wide-open floorplan on vogue. There are some nice outdoor patio areas but, again, you can only use it early in the morning or late at night. I will happily take my small, older, midwestern house where the kids can play outside pretty much any day of the year, even if they're bundled up in snowsuits.

At 830 at night its still 100% bright and sunny out too 🤣 gets dark at about 10ish or 11pm during summers here in AZ. Even our winter sees days into about 7pm pretty averagely aside from directly around the winter solstice. It does however get pretty cool in night probably the low 80s after it was 115° is a drastic difference and it feels very cold after a day of that magnitude.

IT GETS COLD HERE TOO. MOST DONT KNOW DECEMBER THRU MID FEB FROST WARNINGS

I wonder if all the dams upstream have anything to do with it.... And the fact that they had to dam the rivers because of the yearly monsoon floods that would destroy buildings and bridges.... I wonder if that's the reason why

Seen it wet a few times, but only from flash floods. It goes underground from what I've been told. Don't quote me though. 😂

It’s because the Salt River project swoops all the water from getting to the Gila watershed and the Verde watershed (above the Gila). This also means less flow into the Colorado as the Gila flows into the Colorado. Groundwater is also fucked over there too, overdrafted a bit.

@@samuelblack1687 nope. canals to agriculture

They need to run a pumping station from the Rio Grande, across the hills, and into the Gila near it's origin. Would make the dams more efficient, could be shut off for flood rains, and would leave more for downstream irrigation... All while propping up the dwindling Colorado. Might be able to get Mexico to pitch in on some of the project for a healthier Colorado, which they also use.

Which is why you're not a city planner. The heat is why they build across a large area, heat rises and in buildings that means every floor you go up, the hotter it gets. The only way to counteract that is with AC, transferring the heat from inside, to outside.

@rickh8380 You speak facts here. I have lived here in the "Valley" for 55 years. I was in downtown Phoenix (worked a few miles away) that day at a conference, so you're talking even hotter ambient what with all the concrete, asphalt and steel. Out-of-town attendees couldn't believe it. Heck, WE couldn't believe it. That day my recollection is that it wasn't "just" a matter of the planes not being able to take off, but that they didn't have the data/ operating manual info to reliably base flap and thrust settings on. Bad enough! Many of us here have categories - Past May 1, over 90° up to 100° "not worth a mention." any time after mid May, 100° even an occasional 105° "seasonably hot," anytime after June 1 100°-110° "kinda hot today, especially 105°+, but normal summer, not worth much mention," 110°-112° "really hot today, wish it'd cool down, still not out-of-normal, but nevertheless warranting complaints," 112°-115° "too damn hot, not unheard of but TV news full of health warnings especially for challenged...," 115°+ just plain hot, 'unacceptably so," regardless of humidity - no more caveat/excuses like "but it's a dry heat." Rare (even here) 120°+ goes without (much) saying, just looks of bewilderment on people's faces. Generally speaking these ultra high temperatures don't carry with them a lot of humidity, but there have been occasions in the low to mid-hundred 'teens when the two have somehow defied meteorological norms and combined, and it's brutal. The main difference between June and July is the latter doesn't cool down as much at night, particularly in the last few decades due to the "urban heat dome effect" from all the concrete and asphalt, meaning carry over to the next day and you don't get a break. Early to mid July through August there is an uptick in humidity, by our standards, and that's when anything over 105° gets particularly unpleasant. The temperature used to drop off more than it does now in Septembar, but at least there is a drying out.

Yeah but the climate change deniers of Phoenix would rather die of heat stroke pretending it's cold than admit the climate has gotten warmer

@@DavidKroff I was the same way, but in the Dallas area. My family moved from north of Pittsburgh to Texas in 1965. In my small little town in Pennsylvania we played outside all day almost every day. In that small town in Texas most kids stayed inside during the summers, but not me and my brothers. We were still outside even though it was like an oven. We just drank a lot of water and Kool Aid.

It's all the roads and concrete that absorbs the heat at night so it can't cool down like it used to. It's like a sponge that can't cool off. But still better than humidity!

You grew up here close to the time I did! Remember water balloon fights in the summer…when our parents would kick us out of the houses 🫠
