   Yeah, as former long term (17+ years) residents of Phoenix, the intense 115 daily highs for months on end did not lend itself well to outdoor living during the months of May thru late October. And then there were the intense dust storms (haboob) that would envelope the entire metro area and cover everything with dust.

   So glad to be living in San Diego, except for the higher home prices! 🙂

   Although, these grain silo homes would be an excellent solution to the homeless problem in San Diego. They should be fairly cheap to build and don’t take up much space. Grain Silo City!

   I don’t know Eddie89 – the rest of the months are all good, and it’s only 115 in the afternoon for a few hours. I liked it at night in the 80’s.

   You must be thinking of Phoenix in the past. The more recent Phoenix temps, you would be lucky to get in the 90s at night and it now stays in the high 100s all day long.

   Basically, the “heat island” effect with all that black asphalt laid down over the years and the city of Phoenix expanding exponentially. Phoenix is actually bigger than Los Angeles (square miles wise) and all that concrete and asphalt absorbs the sun during the day and releases it at night.

   Some mornings we would wake up and it would be 95 degrees at 6:00am!

   Hence why we had enough of that and moved to San Diego.

   You’re right, that is hot. I lived there when I was a kid and the lows would get into the 80s which was pleasant.
