Do you think the summers in Arizona are really all that bad?* If you’ve lived elsewhere, how does the weather compare? Would you move to a cooler climate if you could?
*Of course not all of Arizona has extreme summers. Higher elevations experience much milder temperatures!

Southern Arizona and Northern Arizona should be two separate states. Phoenix summers are the worst but Flagstaff summers are amazing!

Summers in Phx suck. But it’s super easy to drive 2 hours up North and BAM, green forests :D You can’t do that in some other states =]

I’ve only ever visited Arizona, but I’ve had no problem coping with 115 degree temperatures. It’s humidity that’s oppressive.

I live in Rhode Island and our summers are mild but really muggy. I was in Tucson a few summers ago and it was a really dry heat I loved it.

Being from Gilbert, I find it awful to go outside during the summer and stay inside at all costs. I just hate the sticky sweaty feeling :(

I was born and raised in Tucson, and I’ll take Arizona summers over anything! Humidity kills me, and I freeze below 70 F, haha.
