True statement. Arizona probably has one of the widest ranges of temperatures in the country. Flagstaff comes to mind..

Mt Humphrey is too cold for trees as a group-------it has tundra vegetation. Over 12,000' above sea level, Flag is about 7,000'

Summers are not as bad as people in other parts think it is. This is a dry heat. Not a sticky heat. Everywhere you go the A/C keeps things absolutely cool, if not cold. If you don't have your a/c on at night it is your choice that you want heat and AZ. heat is most preferable compared to TX. heat. It is quite beautiful here actually. As is Texas, but AZ. is just lovely actually!

Just imagine if that blow torch spewed out some humidity...it'd be so much hotter.

I think something is terribly wrong with this temperature gauge. Unless you live on some invisible 4,000 foot mountain in Phoenix, there is no way that the warmest recorded temperature in 85003 is 114 degrees.

There is not NEARLY enough greenery downtown to keep the temperature down that much. If so, you would see even more striking differences in cities back east between the airport and the downtown location, which you don't.

124 sounds a lot more accurate. Especially seeing as that's the same year it reached 122 at Sky Harbor.

Some people sweat in 60 degree weather. It's all dependent on the humidity. 72 degrees at night in Chicagoland is a lot different than 72 degrees at night in DC or Atlanta.
