I keep seeing all these headlines for this record breaking heat wave here in AZ but I don't know, I thought this was just summer in AZ. Some are hotter than others but this doesn't feel all that unusual

Gotta "keep up the scare".....

Gotta "keep up the scare".....

the article says that we're barely getting below 100 at night and that's just not true, I just snapped this



I can remember back in 1996 to be exact, I was at my father's place in western AZ and we were on the front porch at 10pm and his yard thermometer read 110. Yes it's hot, this is the low laying desert and we kind of have a history of being hot, sometimes for long stretches. What the article fails to mention too is how mild and wet the last two summers were.

Damn, if it really isn't that hot in the concrete desert then you really don't need the damns to air condition it (and grow hay for the Saudis), no?

26 years here now plus 6 in western AZ when I was young, sure it's hot and yes it's been an extended heatwave but it's not the hottest it's ever been by a long shot, back in the summer of '04 we were over 120 for a week and a half, one day hit 129.

My sister-in-law reported her flip flops were melting as she crossed the store parking lot in Phoenix the other day. I'll leave living on the face of the sun to others;-)

I live in GA and it gets pretty hot here from June-September.

I was in Phoenix last July and struggled mightily with the heat.

From my understanding, Texas and Louisiana have been scorching since around the end of May or so.

for the record I've been here 26 years and have never had any shoes, sandals or flip flops melt

School librarian says his shoes melted while helping kids cross the street

The librarian said he was only outside for about 30 minutes when the hot pavement melted the soles of his shoes.
