      You must have imagined it because there is no such thing as climate change blah blah blah. And anyway, it is because Biden is sleepy blah blah blah…

    2. Why I moved from PHX to San Diego. At night the inside walls were too hot to touch. Must be a local to live in that heat.

    3. Don’t buy plastic blinds you guys

      White cotton sheets do the job and don’t melt

    4. At 117 degrees, you don’t have film on that window or heat-blocking curtains? Or even a blanket? I live in Florida and it doesn’t get that hot here (but the humidity is a killer) and I have film on the lower half of my West-facing windows as well as two sets of curtains on all windows. You need to work on that.

      I was born and raised in Mesa. The 114+ heat really wasn’t all that bad, you learned to deal with it and despite the mockery of the phrase there is truth in “it’s a dry heat”, it’s not that bad. That said, I finally moved away at 38 because of the Urban heat island effect. When I was young it would hit 115 during the day but cool down onto the 70’s at night. The place has so much asphalt and concrete now that the temperature stays hot all night long 🤬 I miss the Sonoran desert but the San Juan mountains is my home now

    7. 57F here today (Scotland). July has been miserable- cold, windy and wet. I’d take it over your heat though
