So you think your weather is bad!
A friend of mine on another forum posted this. She lives in Arizona and her air conditioner just broke. After reading this, I decided never to complain about Florida's hot summers.
New Resident of Arizona --
May 30th - Now this is a state that knows how to live! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. Mountains and deserts blended together. What a place! Watched the sunset from a park lying on a blanket. It was beautiful. I've finally found my home I love it here.
June 14th - Really heating up. Got to 100° today. Not a problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun every day like this. I'm turning into a real sun worshiper.
June 30th - Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here.
July 10th - The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least it's a dry heat. Getting used to it is taking longer than I expected.
July 15th - Fell asleep by the pool. (Got 3rd° burns over 60% of my body.) Missed two days of work, what a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though: got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.
July 20th - I missed Tabby (our cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got out to the hot car for lunch, Tabby had swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and exploded all over $2,000 worth of leather upholstery. I told the kids she ran away. The car now smells like Kibbles and sh--. No more pets in this heat!
July 25th - Dry heat, my butt. Hot is hot!! The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts.
July 30th - Been sleeping outside by the pool for three nights now. $1,100 in house payments and we can't even go inside. Why did I ever come here?
Aug 4th - 115°. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to about 90°. Stupid repairman peed in my pool. I hate this state.
Aug 8th - If another wise one cracks, "Hot enough for you today?", I'm going to tear his throat out. Darn heat. By the time I get to work the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like roasted Garfield!!
Aug 10th -The weather report might as well be a recording: Hot and Sunny. It's been too hot for two months and now the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this barren desert?? Water rationing has been in effect all summer, so $1,700 worth of cactus just dried up and blew into the pool. Even a cactus can't live in this heat.
Aug 14th - Welcome to Hell!!! Temperature got to 123° today. Forgot to crack the window and blew the windshield out of the Lincoln. The installer came to fix it and said, "Hot enough for you today?" My wife had to spend the $1,100 house payment to bail me out of jail.
Aug 30th - Worst day of the summer. I'm not leaving the house. The monsoon rains finally came and all they did was to make it muggier. The Lincoln is now floating somewhere in Mexico with it's new $500 windshield.
That does it, we're moving to Seattle for some peace and quiet.

I know the feeling I live in Arizona too. But don´t forget Florida has high humidity.
