We moved to AZ from San Diego this past summer. Along the way, we hit Yuma at around 12:30am. It was 102 degrees... in the middle of the night.
It was quite a “Welcome to Arizona!” moment.

I always thought that San Diego had almost perfect weather. I loved it there.

Yes, 102 degrees at midnight. I can only suppose that you LOVE the heat.

My husband and I lived in Saudi Arabia. I remember one day when I was in the gulf. It was 117 degrees, the water was 95 degrees and the humidity was 95%. I wondered WHAT THE HELL I WAS DOING THERE. Making LOTS of $$$$, that's what. We could afford a home in the Bay Area after two years there, came home after five years abroad and we had the house PAID off in nine years...

There was a GOOD reason to go to that oven of a country. But to CHOOSE to move to 102 degrees? I can only imagine your A.C. bill. Wow, almost as bad as the heating cost for the Midwest winters. :o)

Good luck. Wear a hat, with a bill, out of door always; always wear GOOD sunglasses; drink LOTS of water and stay thin.

Oh no, we were only passing through Yuma on our way to the Desert Hills area north of Scottsdale. It’s still hot in the summer months, but not triple-digits-at-midnight hot.

San Diego was the most ideal climate I’ve ever experienced. Unfortunately, it’s still in California.
