Snapshot Report post Posted May 6, 2018 Early May, and supposed to hit 103 in Tucson today. Probably hotter for you Phoenix residents. Long range weather predictions, said it may be the, longest, and hottest, summer on record. UGH! Sure be nice to get some rain. as much as I dislike dealing with the monsoon weather, it's much needed. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

creed Report post Posted May 7, 2018 I have lived in west central AZ my whole life. I freakin hate this time of year. We run 7-10 degrees hotter than Phoenix. 120 is not uncommon at all. 2 more years of farming and I am praying to God I can relocate to a part of the state that has 4 seasons instead of 2 with winter lasting only a week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted May 7, 2018 Pretty weak winter this season. June was brutal last year, and I'm dreading next month. For some reason the monsoon's fizzled out by early August last year. If I wasn't a financial prisoner here, I would head back to Montana, where June is an awesome month. Unlike the desert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThomC Report post Posted May 8, 2018 Wonder if that is why they call it the desert. If you are not a desert rat then go back where you came from. It is not global warming it is overpopulation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
