Heat in Arizona

June 18, 2016 9:46pm CST
I am so frustrated with news channels. We live in Arizona we should be used to the heat by now. I have lived in Arizona my whole life I remember the day it was 122 degrees. The media coverage was nothing like it is today. I feel like they are trying to freak people out. I understand that it is breaking records this week but those of us that live here should be used to it.

They're not reporting the weather FOR folks in Arizona. They're reporting it TO the folks in Texas, so that we can be thankful. Oh! If you think it's hot here? Then move to Arizona!! I think AZ and TX are having a contest to see which state can be the hottest!

Yeah, but it's a dry heat out here... I can't wait for monsoon season to settle in this year!

@cmoneyspinner that is funny. Reporting it as Be thankful you don't live where it's even hotter.

They do the same here in winter. Some how the First Nations people lived here with out central heating even when it was -40C (which is also -40 F) We should all know how to deal with it.

@rudmom5 I live in Tempe, Az and today I think it was like 110`, and no it wasn't surprising. I have lived here for almost 15 yrs and honestly sometimes the weather would shock even the most seasoned Arizonian. I hope that's right! Lol.

I understand deg C better. So I made a conversion and found that 122 deg F is equivalent to 50 deg C. That is hot! The highest temperature we ever get here is 34 deg C and that is really unbearable. I think a lot of people will not be able to survive if the thermometer hits 50 deg C here.

How do you EVER get used to that much heat? When it hits the random 100° here on the West Coast I about want to die. I can't imagine living through 122° weather!
