I call that BS.
I've been in Florida many times and there is no way Phoenix is sweatier, is that a word. then Orlando or especially Miami.

I HATE IT HERE!!!!

But when the sun goes down, you can actually enjoy your patio, etc. Try going outside at night in Nashville.

Instead of posting when it rains, you would have to post about the sun coming out.

Not in the summer...right now it's still like 95 or so out at 8-9pm...

It blows

I had the windows down in my truck at 5:30am this morning and it was 78 out and pretty nice.

On my way home at 8am, it was 87...ick.

Not sure how long you've lived in Chandler, Mike. But last year, after 32 Phoenix summers, I made the decision to move to Seattle and I'm absolutely loving it...

The thing I love about Phoenix is there is not a house, a car, a building public or private that doesn't have air conditioning. Sure, your A/C may not work, but that's a matter of choice and funds.

You go to those Old South cities and many of those homes and buildings don't even have vents for central air. And they add insult to injury by putting swamp coolers in the windows. FYI, swamp coolers don't work when the dewpoint is greater than .55. Dew points in the South generally hover between .60 and .70.

It's 110, whatever ... I'm going from my air conditioned house to my air conditioned car to the next air conditioned facility and back.

Yeah, but your air conditioned car is an over for 5-10 minutes before it cools down...and in the meantime yer sweating.

And going outside is just a pain, doing yardwork is a pain...
