Tucson is liberal and the city government sucks big time. The east side isn’t too bad. Now that it is built up, the city temps hit 110-115...about 5-10 deg less than Phoenix. Long ago, highs ran around 103-105. I still prefer it to Phoenix, but I live outside of Tucson now. Where I live at 3500’, the summer highs are around 101-102.
Has the temperature increased with our population? I wonder why the weather people or the radio garden hosts don’t mention this trajectory. Fascinating. I wouldn’t mind that level of heat. The nights seem much colder this year, though.
