PHOENIX — Cam Ferguson gets to his spot on the street adjacent to Chase Field — home of Major League Baseball’s Arizona Diamondbacks — about four hours before first pitch to set up his usual display of cold water, sports drinks, peanuts and candy.
By game time, it’s about 103 degrees Fahrenheit on this Labor Day afternoon in downtown Phoenix. Business is brisk.
“Two for five, but it’s eight inside!” shouts another vendor, hawking water bottles. “Plus, they’re having some problems with the air conditioning in there.”
It’s always hot this time of year in central Arizona, but 2024 is proving to be an endless summer with especially high temperatures in Phoenix. On Tuesday, the city hit its 100th straight day with at least 100 degree temperatures.

WTAH? Oh, I see. If it ain’t “on record”, it doesn’t count.
100 is nothing over here. We regularly touch the high one-hundred-teens. Phoenix is a heavily populated valley in the southwest desert.
“100th straight day with at least 100 degree temperatures.”
I wonder how the gardening is going.
I skipped this year for my tomatoes because last year was too hot for them.
My neighbor who is a retired farmer and grows a real garden did the same and it looks like we were right, it wasn’t the day temperatures but the lack of cooling at night that made us correct to skip it.
Imagine that!
Happens every damn summer. The only difference is people never used to whine about it after being brainwashed by greedy, braindead enviromaniacs. It’s the Sun stupid!
Climate change alarmism isn't going to help Kamala, this year.
In other news, the desert is hot in the summer. More at 6pm.
Right. And growing, which means the urban heat island effect is progressively more intense. No surprise an urban area will be hotter than it was 30 years ago.

I love AZ
Here in the southwestern desert, we call it summer.
***By game time, it’s about 103 degrees Fahrenheit****
Bourke, in his book ON THE BORDER WITH CROOK(1891), about the Indian Wars in AZ and Wyoming, told of the heat in Tuscon back in the 1870s.

” Many a brilliant and noble fellow has succumbed to the ennui and gone down, wrecking a life full of promise for himself and the service. It was hard for a man to study night and day with the thermometer rarely under the nineties even in winter at noon, and often climbing up to and over the 120 notch on the Fahrenheit scale before the meridian of days between April 1st and October 15th;”
The heat today is the same.
Before “refrigerated air” is a world that those who didn’t live in it can’t imagine, they probably think they can but they can’t know what it is like to actully live in it with not even knowing of something else, school, work, play, suppertime, trying to sleep at night, windows and doors always open, porches, , driving places (including in desert states up inclines), carrying water bags hooked onto the hood ornament or bumper, hot sexy southern women on sultry nights in flimsy clothes.
Summer in the desert, shocking.
One of my favorite films. Janet Leigh in her underwear in 1960 must have been quite risqué at that time.
100 to 103 is tolerable, it's the 110-118 range that gets really rough. We had a lot more of those last year.
Also, it is said regarding locals: It is not the 110 degree days that are bothersome, it's the 95 degree nights.
On the other hand, Vegas has been insanely hot this summer - usually we are 5-10 degrees cooler than Phoenix…this summer that has flipped.
