  • 100 days of 100-plus degree temps

    Phoenix weathers 100 days of 100-plus degree temps as heat scorches

    It's always hot this time of year in central Arizona, but 2024 is
    proving to be an endless summer with especially high temperatures in
    Phoenix. On Tuesday, the city hit its 100th straight day with at least
    100 degree temperatures. That's long since shattered the record of 76
    days in a row set back in 1993, according to data from the National
    Weather Service.

    It is interesting how different people enjoy different things. I know many people who would love to live in a place with constantly 35 C. Don't ask
    me why.

    Personally I'm sticking with northern europe. 80% of the year it's great!

    In Phoenix, construction workers, etc., start work around sunrise, and
    quit by 2pm.

    In UK, I believe a heatwave is around 80F.

    In Watertown, NY, a heatware is around 90F

    I'll take that dry Arizona heat over an Urban heat wave any day.

    On a 100F day while riding a motorcycle at highway speeds, your
    opinion might change. Perspiration evaporates so quickly that there
    is no such thing as a sweat-drenched shirt, and a rider is baking.
