It's the opposite for me.....I find the piercing, blinding light to be here in Phoenix, when it gets over a certain temperature.

Phoenix is generally a very bright city. No shade, flat topography, asphalt and white buildings. Whenever I come back it takes my eyes a day to adjust back to being here.

Agreed. It's like nothing I've ever felt before.

I am quite thrilled! 90 is nowhere near hot to me! It's been lovely!


Honestly, people who are already miserably hot REALLY need to consider moving someplace with a cooler climate. I can't handle the cold so I moved. If you can't handle heat, I recommend the same.

Well, I am planning to move up to Flagstaff in a few years, but until then.....I can't say as that I enjoy having 90 degree weather in February. (that is just my opinion though)

I agree. 90 degrees here is perfection.

It's been nice in the mornings, too. Still cool enough when I head to the gym that I can wear my hoodie if I want. This is the nice time where the windows are open and no AC or heat
