Last month of summer, encouraging to most around here... (Phoenix: rental car, rental)

I am going by Wunderground which relies on personal weather stations.

Yeah, it'll be roasting by 10am midsummer. But were past that now, it's barely hitting 100 at any point today.

The average daily high drops below 100 this week. Whoopee! When does it come back? It doesn't come back until May 12. That's eight months away. Enjoy. (yes I know it can and probably will hit 100 still)

I guess we're not supposed to know all water comes from deep in the ground. Even well water from the hottest place on the planet is cold.
The only way you can have that issue I think is to have your pipes above ground. And I never heard of that, and in fact that was the issue all one needs is to let the water run for 30 seconds at the most.
But....

Wrong. The pipes don't have to all be above ground. Where do you think water softeners are typically located? In the summer, my cold tap is luke warm. Not hot, but definitely not cold.

CA.

In our apartments in Mesa and Ahwatukee, it wasn't a problem. The water was cool/cold year-round out of the cold side, as it should be.

But here in the Ocotillo area of Chandler in our particular house the water is borderline hot coming out of the cold side (granted we are in the one crappy, low price, low quality subdivision in the area). We have the water on a micron above the point of sputtering because of low water pressure and it's still not cold, cool, or even warm for the full duration of the shower. If showering early in the morning or late at night, it gets down to the point of being tolerably warm.

It could be by virtue of the cheap, crappy houses in this small, isolated subdivision of this area. Built in 98 and the construction seems very, very cheap. Definitely not even close to the same league of the quality right across Ocotillo Road in Fulton Ranch (the real one, not that Reserve at Fulton Ranch crap).

Our normal daily high hit's 100 again on Jun 3rd.

Death Valley is the only place with a normal high of 100 on May 12th, and just barely at that

People love to exaggerate the weather around here.

You're right. I had the date for the average first occurrence of100. To be consistent, the average last day of 100 each year is still a couple weeks away, Sep 28 according to what I was looking at. So almost eight months without 100 degree days (asterisk implied).

[ElleTea]

The 3 years I have been here, the first 100 degree day of the spring has been around May 5. It's not continuously 100 after that, but it has reached that temp then.

My water never gets truly cold in summer. I wouldnt call it "hot", but its definitely not cold. At all.
