Yeah, if you like it 10 degrees hotter than he!! for three months of the year - including at night!

WAAAAAYYYYYY too hot during the summer (WOOOOO!!). Even at 5am it's already up to 85-90 degrees!!! You can't even go jogging in weather like that. Long walks is best in weather like that there.

Ann and the gang,
Last July and August my son and I took two weeks to explore the topography of San Diego and its environs down to a ....virtually untouched Dulzura,California{heavenly,uncrowded place}.
The monsoon season,as locals refer to it,was in full swing...ie higher than normal humidity with increased chance of rain.It was more uncomfortable than previous trips
but still far nicer than summer in MID-Atlantic region of USA.
I must say that MY breathing was a bit taxed.......so for people in my position/situation....the dry or arid areas of Arizona and Southern,New Mexico are best places to be....if money is no problem.....but it is NOW?

I used to live in Yuma and no it is definetly NOT the best climate. Hot, humid, sticky all summer and even into fall.

Try San Diego or LA even Flagstaff. Much nicer climates

Yuma is NOT hot, humid and sticky. Maybe for a few weeks during monsoon season, thats about it. If you want hot, humid, and sticky, head to the southern states (ie Mississippi).

Well, Yuma does look quite a bit more humid than Phoenix according to these charts. I doubt the dew point is ever high in Yuma though.

Now to get an idea of how your car will feel you need to preheat to about 450 degrees or even hotter.

I would not recommend anyone with allergies or asthma, no matter how mild, move to Yuma. There is a lot of stuff in the air from the farming that will wreak havoc on your body if you are suffering from any type of respiratory condition.

My doc feels that I should move to YUMA full time...chronic pain 6 back operations and asthma....but I would have to go it alone...I just promised myself to stop complaining.Apologies to all.

Pff, that article is a joke. San Diego listed as having worse weather than Las Vegas? Honolulu NOWHERE on the list? Whatever! Yuma is too cold in winter, too hot in summer. And for those saying Yuma is better in summer than, say, DC, you're dead wrong. In DC, it's hot, yes, but 90F with 70 dewpoint is better than 105F and 70 dewpoint! You can't forget the monsoon! And anyways, I prefer humidity to the more dangerous dry heat anyday!
