We have been over 100 with the exception of a single day (99) since June. This is alleged to finally end Monday.

That's fine if you signed up for this by living in Phoenix, but it's not great hundreds of miles away in a completely different climate. I'm already well into my plan to become a climate refugee ... all that remains is seeing how often I have to pull up stakes again going forward.
