On the plus side Phoenix is going to be an absolute boon to future archaeologists. It's in the middle of a desert, which is great for preserving stuff, and when it depopulates nobody's going to move back in and wreck stuff up by living there.

Dubai's probably going to be another good one, though it's on a coast so that could cause other types of degradation.

And Bobby knew this shit like 20 years ago. It regularly gets into the low 100s in July and August in that region. It's not so terribly bad since it's dry heat, especially when there is wind. Arizona isn't even the highest risk area. The biggest issue in the US wet-bulb temps in the southeast.

What's that in real temperature units?

If you are discussing the affects of temperature on humans, you should use a human centric temperature scale, so I'd say that is already the appropriate unit.
