Phoenix was the first place I visited over 45C and the feeling of sweat evaporating off your body was unbelievable.

I admire anyone who can adapt to life in that climate. I moved from the UK to Australia to escape the cold, but the oven is higher than I want to be.

Living in Phoenix amounts to becoming a desert animal of sorts-- you prefer to go outside at night. In the day, you sort of scurry from air conditioner to air conditioner.

The non-summer weather is why everyone stays.
