I will admit that I am loving the no humidity thing.

LOL. I love your weather posts, Mike.
Phoenix just won "sweatiest city in the country" again...we sweat a LOT more here than elsewhere...it just evaporates because of the dry air, as opposed to just staying on your clothes in the more humid areas.
I call that BS.
I've been in Florida many times and there is no way Phoenix is sweatier, is that a word. then Orlando or especially Miami.
I still call it BS.

But when the sun goes down, you can actually enjoy your patio, etc. Try going outside at night in Nashville.

Instead of posting when it rains, you would have to post about the sun coming out.
Outside at night in Nashville at night? wow...
Damn you!! Damn you to Avondale!!

Not in the summer...right now it's still like 95 or so out at 8-9pm...
It blows
I had the windows down in my truck at 5:30am this morning and it was 78 out and pretty nice.
On my way home at 8am, it was 87...ick.

Not sure how long you've lived in Chandler, Mike. But last year, after 32 Phoenix summers, I made the decision to move to Seattle and I'm absolutely loving it...
The thing I love about Phoenix is there is not a house, a car, a building public or private that doesn't have air conditioning. Sure, your A/C may not work, but that's a matter of choice and funds.
You go to those Old South cities and many of those homes and buildings don't even have vents for central air. And they add insult to injury by putting swamp coolers in the windows. FYI, swamp coolers don't work when the dewpoint is greater than .55. Dew points in the South generally hover between .60 and .70.
It's 110, whatever ... I'm going from my air conditioned house to my air conditioned car to the next air conditioned facility and back.

Yeah, but your air conditioned car is an over for 5-10 minutes before it cools down...and in the meantime yer sweating.
And going outside is just a pain, doing yardwork is a pain...
I live in a house that was built in the 1930s and it doesn't have central air conditioning, the majority of the house is swamp cooled, except for a couple of rooms that have window air conditioners.
I work in a building that is both swamp cooled and air conditioned.
Yes, my office is air conditioned but a good 40% of my time is spent in the shop that is swamp cooled.
I mow my yard every two weeks before irrigation comes.
I'm sorry if I don't feel sympathy for you because your car takes 5-10 minutes to cool down. Mine does too, open a window and drive until it does............. air cirulation does wonders.

Wow, I would be totally on your side, but I guess no sympathy for me...so I may as well return the favor.
Anytime a favor is returned I appreciate it.
Take deep breaths.
