Ive been in 125° heat in Blythe, CA. Id take that any day compared to the unbearable heat and humidity I experienced when in DC. Zero lives in DC, he should be able to handle the dry heat of Phoenix. It's what you have been acclimatized to that matters. If you are used to humid heat, a dry heat can feel miserable and vice versa.

Your experience may differ but for most dry heat is far easier to tolerate.
