Flights cancelled to Phoenix because of heat.
I have a coworker who has his flight already cancelled tomorrow because the temperature will be 118 in Phoenix... Apparently planes have problems landing and taking off in temps that high.
I have no idea why anyone would want to live near there.

I don't know what all of you are complaining about with the heat in AZ ...

The Phoenix heat sucks, but the bigger issue there is water, or water subsidies

I can understand, somewhat, how someone can live in Phoenix in modern times

Yeah, if it were 120 every day, that changes everything. There is a palpable difference between 100 and 120

Don't be so hard on Phoenix. I think it only averages 129 days of 100+ temperatures each year.

It's not worth it to have a pool that can only be used a few months a year.
