I live in the Mojave desert and i can tell you every summer here it has been getting colder not hotter here. Been here over 30 years and I saw it snow here a couple years ago. Middle of July and I can get away with not running an ac? They are trying to push everyone to use solar but at the same time they regulate so you can not come out ahead. Laws prevent how much you can produce. If it was about global warming why are solar panels so over regulated? Solar panels also take more energy to make than they can produce in their lifetime. Solar panels add to the problem and saves nothing. Its one of the biggest frauds since the Democratic party was formed. If you want to save the world profit shouldn't be what drives it.

I have lived in Phoenix over 20 years and I am from the Midwest, so I thoroughly understand and appreciate the difference between the climates. I have noticed that most people who live in Phoenix regardless of where they are from think it is always getting hotter every year, which is not 100 percent correct. This June 2018 for the first time in several years has not yet hit over 120 as it has done past years. This year is different. I am thankful the temps have mostly stayed under 110. We actually even had a couple days in the upper 90s this June, which I don't recall happening in recent years. What I have noticed each month so far this year, there has been a week early or mid month where the temps spike up hotter than usual, then came back down about 10 or 20 degrees less. Alot of temp fluctuating every month. February had the most rain and some in early March but not since then. Often the Monsoon rains begin around beginning of July. I think the past couple years we had more rain between July through early September than in the Spring. Spring temps were later for the Midwest with snow through April, but here in Phoenix the temps ranged between low to mid 70s up to mid to high 80s through April and then jumped up to 90s and low 100s in May, which is common for that month. February had colder evening temps than usual due to the rain & December through January was warmer than usual, in the low to mid 70s mostly, which for most people is lovely weather! Yes it is hot and dry here in the summer because we live in a real desert climate, and there are many days over 100, but if you have a pool, it does help to feel cooler when outside. I prefer temps to go no higher than 105, because 110 plus is way too hot. Summer here is like winter elsewhere, in regards to staying inside more. In the summers, I mostly go out of my house in the evenings when it is not as hot. For many people, any temp over 90 or 100 is too hot, but it is rather amusing that after we have endured 100 plus heat for many months, we are very relieved and happy when it "cools" down to under 100!

Well then go back to Seattle :)
