Sweet. I'll be sweating bullets vicariously from indoors as I take my RN boards in air conditioned hell. Probably will hit me like a Mack truck when I walk out of there at about 1 or 2.

Need tint and a sunshade pronto.

Swamp Cooler FTW... Been keeping the place under 80 no problem for cheap.

I'd really like one of the 2 stage ones.

But, yours is a dry heat. Which means that it's not actualy hot at all to hear Phoenicians tell it.

Wuss.

They seem to change their prediction every few hours. Now they are saying 108:

You say that from lack of experience... Phx is a dry heat compared to, let's say Orlando, but the humidity there is FAR greater than it is here, I assure you!

I've been far more miserable in 80F/95% humidity in Iowa, than playing baseball in 99F/10% humidity in San Ramon. Not only are you too hot, you're also sweaty but it doesn't do anything... it just saps the life right out of you.

Sorry, I forgot to parse my exaggeration and bullshitting tags. But Scott and Austin are right. Humidity sucks way more than actual heat.

Oh, and I whole-heartedly agree! I grew up here, so the slightly higher humidity in PHX made it HORRIBLE for me! I've been to Orlando in June before tho, and I contemplated slitting my wrists at one point...

I'll put Memphis in August up there in terms of unbearable as well.

I've been to Charleston SC, Hunstville AL, Springfield MA, in the dead of summer and none of them matched the awful humidity of Iowa City, IA. We tried to play an ultimate frisbee match... it was too hot to finish... and it was only 70F something out... but with the humidity it felt like 120F. I've never felt so completely deflated by the heat. Yuck.
