True! As long as you don't spend all day out in the scorching sun, I think most people can take it. It's like how in winter most people would not spend all day out in the freezing cold and out in a blizzard but as long as you go from warm car to warm house or warm job winters are tolerable. Except winters are worse because of the snow and blizzards and driving dangers and getting stuck in snow and having to shovel before you can go to work, slipping on ice and trying to warm up a freezing car by letting it run 10-15 minutes before you're ready to drive somewhere etc. Buying winter coats and gloves and boots and catching colds and the flu and pneumonia etc. So winters are much worse.

I totally agree!

Heard on the news tonight that the latest 100º day in Tucson was October 15th (or there abouts) and this rash of warm September weather is summer unusually prolonged. Looked on my calendar from last year and noticed I made an entry that on September 12th I turned on the heat for the first time. Not so this year...still running the AC... and my TEP bill reflects that.
In colder places in summer the bills are high from running the AC all day and in winter the bills are high from having the heat on all day. Here in Tucson the electric bills go lower once it cools and AC is no longer needed and if you need the heat on it's just at night here and you don't need it on high at all. So you save more money here.
