Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

Arizona is a dry heat which isn't that bad !!! I was in Arizona 25 years ago on vacation and i was walking around downtown Phoenix all day long !!! When i got back to the hotel the news was on and the weather lady said it was currently 110 degrees !!! I was shocked because it didn't feel that bad outside !!! The heat we have here in Texas is much worse because of the crazy humidity !! When it's a 110 in Texas you will be sweating your ass off because of the miserable humidity !!

@johnbob4545 3 жыл бұрын

I'm in California so these could apply to me. In summer inland can get 110 all season. I live by the beach so if its over 90 its hot/humid and air conditioning is on.

40 year Arizonan here. All but about 3 or 4 items on this list I can relate to. One item on the list, the flash flood thing in particular is totally true. About 1/2 a mile from where I sit and type this a number of years ago I was driving on a residential street during the rain at night, I turned a corner and suddenly found myself driving in 6 inches of water! Fortunately, there was a sidewalk there that was up out of the water and I drove on the sidewalk and partly in peoples' yards for a couple of blocks. The car was running a little funny after that. Once the water reaches the depth of the car's innards it is risking killing the car. FFS, drive around water or wait if you don't need to get to where you are going at that moment. Thx 4 posting.

Not too different than life in the 25 years in East San Diego County. I met an albino rattler in my driveway a couple times, and had a regular visitor we named "Hissy." 110F is hot, but fire season never ends out there. I'm in the White Mountains now, so you can't see many other mountains @ 5700'---and it gets COLD here.

Many of these are almost identical to Utah. 90º to 100º is good weather. Bolo ties and turquoise pretty popular around here in Utah. Lucky most our Rattlers and coyotes are up in there hills, plus there is usually a bounty on coyotes here. We have plenty of mountains as well.. And big ones. Still hoping to relocate though... Ditch or long, cold winters of Utah for they mild winters of Baja Az... Too bad I will have missed out on the 30 year driver license.

@jaytee2642 2 жыл бұрын

The coyote thing is amazing. I worked in Los Angeles until I retired last year and my job took me into residential neighborhoods at night. I can't count the number of times I saw coyotes. It was hard to make the local residents believe it, because they never saw them. But most people aren't out driving 7 hours in the wee hours of the night, so the opportunity for coyote sightings just isn't there.

It was a bad experience and you need a smog before you register your car and you have to give them your Deed to the car and they hold it for you. Warning I moved to AZ for a govt job too and they started my background “after” I started work. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Scary! AZ is just like NV.
