Extreme heat warnings remain in effect for parts of the desert Southwest -- including Palm Springs, California; Phoenix; and Tucson, Arizona.
High temperatures are expected to reach well into the 100s and up to 115 in spots.

“I had no AC, we relied on wing vents blasting us with 400° oven air.”
Oh.
Bad choice of road trip locations with no AC.
They yell global warming while here in the PNW it’s clouds and drizzle.
Live a few years in Phoenix, and yes 118 degrees is hot, but you don’t lose your mind over it. Everyone adjusts and minimizes the effect.
Normally August would bring monsoon weather, with cooler temps, more humidity, and precipitation. This year August is more like June.
A perfect 85 here outside Philly. Now that the canadian fire smoke is gone it’s beautiful.
Palm Canyon Drive and Ramon Road in Palm Springs--hottest intersection in the world.
Yuppers...
99’ today but Mid 60’s at Midnight which makes it Nice for Night Owls.
.
Phoenix stays at a 100’ at night!
Aaaaah. THREE?

Currently 108 degrees and 15% humidity in Carefree Arizona. We run about 5 to 7 degrees cooler than Central Phoenix because we are ~1,200 feet higher in elevation and we have more dirt roads and parking lots than concrete heat islands.
Next seven days look good - upper 70s to low 100s.
Good friend of mine bought a house in Prescott for that reason. We’ve gone 3-4 times. Last time we went was in March. We left Nebraska was in the 60s and the day after we got to Prescott, it snowed 8”!!

Yes. Prescott is about 4,000ft elevation, I think; thus its cooler temps in the summer and that it can have a freeze in the winter.
It’s a lot LESS humid than it used to be. Also less snow. I’m all for Global Warming up here on The Frozen Tundra!
And Packer’s Football starts this Saturday night - but you can be a Packer Fan from anywhere, really. :)
It’s humid in July and August most days, but as I said a nice breeze takes care of that. We had a VERY wet spring, 7” more rain than normal, and one terrible hatch of mosquitoes, but man, I LOVE where I live. I am Wisconsin’s biggest Cheerleader. :)
He said it rarely got above 90. There house is on the mountain but we rent an AirBnB in town. We fly into Phoenix, rent a car and stop in Congress AZ at Nichols West for lunch.
“Dec - Feb were OK. But it goes over 100 by march and stays there.”
The average first day of 100 degree temps in Phoenix is May 2 - and the humidity’s about 10%, so it’s quite comfortable (to me, anyway). YMMV.
Yep, nothing worse than high heat and high humidity. I’ve been to florida, Texas, Georgia etc. I just couldn’t live in that kind of environment.
The Front Range runs north and south through Colorado and refers to where the plains on the east meet the foothills and then the mountains to the west.
It has the highest concentration of people, from about Ft Collins on the north, south to Boulder, down through the Denver metroplex, to Colorado Springs, to Pueblo.
I’ve seen 128. Quite the experiance. More than a couple minutes in the direct sun and you feel like you’re being cooked. That was in Australia India was hot but about 110 and the Indians couldn’t believe it wasn’t bothering me. Was asked why I was pink, lol.
I was at Exeter Academy to drop off my brother back around 1980, and it was 106 degrees that day. Pre-“global warming,” mind you.
Poor tires.
