Acceptable temperature

Don't ever come to Madras. 37 or 38 C, in September! And the humidity!
Cheers, Vikram. (Cracked not one CCC, but two!)

It was 80 degrees fahrenheit (26.6 celcius) and I was thinking that it was a nice comfortable morning. I guess I have lost my fight and am now becoming accustomed to living in the Sonoran desert (Phoenix area). After four years of hating this heat, it is starting to become acceptable. It's a far cry from my youth where anything over 72 degrees was too hot and I'm shedding clothes like crazy and heading for the lake.

Where I live the temperature fluctuates from one extreme to the other. In the summer it can be 100 degrees fahrenheit and -20 degrees fahrenheit in the winter months. I adjust to the temp very well considering the differences, 85 degrees in the summer or 30 degrees in the winter doesn't bother me at all.

'Bout frickin' time. :-D We've been here five years now, but we got here via L.A. so it wasn't too much of a change.

:wtf: I'm sure that's very nice, but I don't like it. I'd spend the entire visit in a mobile fridge.

It's not! I love nothing better than rain and cold weather!!! It's too bad 'sunny' is associated with happiness and clouds with despair, but this will give you an idea of how some people (including me) love the rain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&v=BnsF6K_qD5k. I play that song whenever it rains.

I lived in Phoenix for a couple years, and yes it's true, it is a dry heat (compared to Iowa). For me it seemed like anything under 105F was tolerable. for some reason the 106F just put it over the edge.

I can't complain. I've lived in the Phoenix-metro area for my entire life (damn near two decades.)

Congratulations. I've only met about 4 people over the age of 30 that have lived here their whole lives. :)

Good. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one. And here was me thinking I was weird when I was in school a t-shirt and jeans in the middle of winter. :)

You're not the only one. Growing up in western Washington, cold feels good, rain is normal, and too much sun depresses me because I sunburn so easily. :cool: Being on a submarine was fine with me because we kept the navigation center at about 60 F.

You ought to try getting baked in the Arabian Gulf (I've tried it all from Iraq down to Oman with the exception of Qatar). In kuwait, it gets to 60C in the shade at 14:00 (dry bulb, 54 wet bulb). If you drive away from the coast (say about 2km, humidity drops to 5% from 100%).

Thank you, but no. This is hotter than I have ever wanted to get. :)

I lived in Phoenix (Gilbert) for a while and later Tucson. My oldest daughter was born in Chandler. The summer highs were a little much, but still way better than when I lived in Ft. Smith Arkansas (or visited Austin Texas in August.) I did love the winters in Phoenix and the lightning storms during the monsoon season were spectacular. Incidentally, if you haven't made a trip to Tucson to go to the Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum[^]; it's a must visit. It's easily the best zoo I've been to. While in Tucson, a visit to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in mandatory, even if you just drive by.
