Phoenician pro-tip: crack your car windows to avoid getting into a broiling oven after work.
Also, front window reflector shields that you put up when your car is parked make a massize difference
The real pro tip is to leave the state. Cracking a window lol
The real solution to climate change is to crack a window
Still better than Michigan winters
What winters? It barely gets below 32F/0C in Detroit anymore. This is actually quite problematic bc we need at least two solid weeks straight of below freezing temperatures to kill invasive bugs and we are no longer getting that.
Great way to get your car broken into, just sayin.
If someone wants to break into your car, they'll see something inside and then attempt to break in. That, or if they know anything, theyll just smash your window, check your trunk through the seat, and leave.
Leaving your window cracked probably doesnt increase your likelihood of getting your car broken into, especially if you dont leave anything valuable in the car.
Either way, leaving things like backpacks, large cases, really anything at all valuable looking anywhere in your car is the greatest way to get your car broken into.
Phoenician pro-tip: if you use a letter for each individual sound instead of one for every word, it makes for a more efficient writing system. Also DO NOT fuck with the Romans or random weirdo desert tribes they will murder you without mercy.
I live in Phoenix. This article is blowing life out here way out of proportion.
There's very little humidity here, so the weather doesn't choke you. Yeah, we drink a little more water in the summer time, but most Americans drink way less water than they should be anyway. So, what, we're more hydrated than most of America's population?
Our streets aren't walkable really, even in the winter months. Everything has been built too far apart, so we just drive more. The most walkable areas are downtown and ASU, and even there, in the winter, I do as little walking as possible cause everything is so spread out.
I moved here in August from Southern CA, near the beach where the weather is mild. My lips didn't crack as I drove in, and they haven't cracked since. My phone has never had trouble charging due to heat.
You are speaking as someone who is home, transportation, and water secure. Someone with a marginally less stable life could have a difficult time staying alive. Heck, your AC going out on a weekend could drastically reduce your own quality of life in totally new ways during this heat.
Hate to break it to you, but most people in Phoenix is home, transport and water secure. Yup, the power going out would suck, but not death-suck for most people.
This article literally claims that all 4.95 million people living in the greater Phoenix area is living in hell. That's ridiculous. It's not even close to being true.

Exactly. I'm in Arizona right now and it's incredibly hot with no break from the heat. Equipment overheating is a real issue, my development computers and phones have all had problems.
The heat is the same issue that places like suburban Minnesota has in the winter. The only difference here is that the problem is the heat instead of the cold.
113F?
I was in vegas last week. It was 118F every single day.
Also, you should try Oklahoma, where its 105-110F, with 45% humidity. Then, you know suffering!
Well that’s all just absolutely horrifying. Sincerely, A Canadian.
Don't speak too loudly, if it keeps getting hotter, I might have to move to Canada!
I was in Germany last year, it was a lovely 75°F, but so humid I was miserable any time I stepped outdoors, and any time I took any public transport I was just sitting in my own swamp.
Its 111 in south florida at 9am. It’s been that way for weeks.
It ain’t just the shitty desert.
I was just thinking the funniest thing about being alive rn is that we allowed the people who work inside to determine what happens to the outside.
Yeah, but we gave up on Florida a long time ago.
jesus
He ain't gon' save ya.
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.
