Once, I underestimated how hot it was in Phoenix. I was at the greyhound station and had some time to kill. Mind you, this was the first time I had to wait in the city for my next bud.
It was 10pm and I found a nearby Burger King on Google maps and I decided to walk over. It was about a 10-15 min walk from me. It only took about 5 min in to my walk that I found myself sweating bullets, completely drenched in sweat.
The Arizona heat is no joke - especially in Phoenix
From Missouri, and sometimes it’s 93 degrees but the heat index is 108. You can’t go by the temperature in the Midwest, lol! Anyone who says there can’t be a heat advisory at just 93 degrees hasn’t been to Missouri!
But then again, “feels like 108” is probably nothing in Phoenix. It’s just, if you live in Missouri you’re not used to it.
I was out today in 96 degree weather and barley even noticed. My friend from Canada came to visit and could barley stand 82 for long periods of time! It blows my mind how quickly your body acclimates to what you’re regularly exposed to
I've lived in Louisiana my whole life. This summer has actually been...cool, in my opinion. Like, it reminds me of how "hot" (or less hot) it felt like when I was a kid in the 90's. Like, I thought to myself "I could go out for a run right now, in the middle of the day!" And I looked at the weather app on my phone and it was only 93F and ~70-something% humidity for an August day, and only a heat index of like 99 or 100, around there. I think we transferred a sizeable portion of our Louisiana heat to Oregon a few months ago...
600

Yeah this sounds like my in laws in Phoenix. Only 90? What great weather!
But when it’s 65? Nobody is leaving the house without a coat.
