guys its not even august yet... :(

It's always so frustrating to see the same jokes and snark about Phoenix because most people will just accept that at face value, laugh, and move on. Phoenix gets hot, yea, but not like this otherwise it wouldn't be newsworthy.
The summers bring heat but also usually rains, monsoons actually. They punctuate the stretches of heat bringing cooler temps and much needed relief. These usually start in June and occur regularly for the duration of summer but haven't this year. People have lived in the area for thousands of years, this is abnormal and not as simple as "people live in hot area and complain about heat".

So basically a normal summer day for Phoenix
- Basically it's not. That's the issue....
