Just how hot is hot?

Juli, I seriously don't know how you guys survive the summer heat!  We lived one summer in Las Vegas, and that was enough! 

My goodness, they just discovered 3 new planets.  I can only imagine that heat.  We are finally getting it here, but nothing like your temps.

That's a pretty cute graphic to illustrate where Arizona falls on the heat scale, Juli!  I know it can get warm in that state, but you need to add Prescott on there.  I remember that it's a little cooler there!  You could likely place it between Tucson and Earth:-)

Juli, I can't believe that no one has yet said; "but it's a dry heat"!  

You have me in stitches! It's 11:30pm in Surprise and the temperature is 91°F.

No pets or children in cars, even if the windows are rolled completely down. AND watch you children around water.

Juli  Your graphic really puts it in a humorous perspective and your points are well made.  The entire country got clobbered this year.  I'm hoping for a blixxard this winter

Compared to last summers CRAZY drought, this summer seems so plesant. I know it is just as hot, but at least we've had rain. Las year it was brown, dry,  and fires breaking out all around us.

It's really quite pleasant until you realize the chickens here lay fried eggs.

Sunscreen and water are muy important in summer desert environments!

I don't know how you people can do it - it must be so hard to stay indoors when it's so beautiful outside.

Juli I know it is hot for you but you are lucky it is Dry Heat!, shirts do not stick to your back as in the humid east coast heat! I have noticed this summer made up for last year for us it has been hot for the past 20 days even in Marina Del Rey and sadly humid hot days!

We worry about our little Lola when she is outside because she is black and soaks up those rays quickly.  wish I could send some of our rain to you to cool off some,

We've had 50 days of 90 degree plus weather in Maryland.  We are happy to see other areas recognized as the hottest places.

This summer is even more unusual..hot AND humid.  I've found little desire in my evening outside walks this summer.  I've discovered the dreaded mall walking..lol.
