I grew up in Phoenix and lived there until I was about 35. I also delivered newspapers (The Phoenix Gazatte) in the afternoon every day of the week. My tips: 1. Take a 2 liter bottle and fill it 3/4 and freeze it, then put it in your car in the morning and sip on it when it melts away, which it will do fast. 2. Always wear a hat and sunglasses and sunscreen. I never used sunscreen because it was the 1980's and no one did. Skin cancer is real and cataracts are real. 3. Keep your house at about 80 until about mid July to save money. Your body gets used to the higher temp after about 3-4 days. When the humidity comes in with the monsoon season, then lower the temp to get rid the humidity in the house. 4. Never ever drive through a running stream in the monsoons. We have these things called washes or arroyos and they are dry 99% of the time but when they run, they will take your car out. 5. plant desert trees on the south side of your house such as Jackaranda, Palo Verde or anything that will block the sun from reaching your roof. 6. invest in solar panels if you can. 7. live further out away from all the concrete to enjoy cooler night time weather.

[@movingtophoenixarizonaeric]

This is great advice!! You definitely get used to living inside with higher temperatures! Love the solar and planting trees on the south side of the home too. Thank you for adding these

Its simple. Dont' go outside in daylight hours between June and September. Become nocturnal.

[@movingtophoenixarizonaeric]

Mornings and afternoons only!

All the creatures and bugs are nocturnal. Nocturnal is dangerous.

exactly what I do when I'm down in the valley in the summertime

[@movingtophoenixarizonaeric]

@@mikemccabe7124 no doubt!

[@mikemccabe7124]

i love spending as much time as i can in lakeside-pinetop during the summertime its a whole other world up ther especially during monsoon season with the cool fresh clean air mixed with the clean scent of pine trees it didn't even got into the 70's today because of all the rain today

[@movingtophoenixarizonaeric]

It’s amazing up there!!

[@bonriver9420]

Be careful not to drink an excessive amount of water as this will dilute your electrolytes and people have died from this. Good idea to keep some electrolyte drinks on hand.

[@movingtophoenixarizonaeric]

Very true

[@barbaras676]

Another necessity is a towel for your driver's seat (making sure it covers the metal buckle) and your steering wheel. Even with a sun shade the seats and steering wheel get incredibly hot!

[@movingtophoenixarizonaeric]

I haven’t done that before but sounds great - thank you for sharing

[@DebraMcKinney-t1y]

I kept oven mitts with my keys to keep from burning my hands on the door handles in the panhandle of Texas.

I was born and raised in Phoenix. Lived in Central just across the street from the BMO Building now. I have now moved north to Prescott. And the difference is remarkable in terms of pure Dry Heat and pure Humid Heat made by industrialization. Take care of your health guya

[@movingtophoenixarizonaeric]

No doubt!

[@jeffreydaniels7519]

I’m from Chicago, I’ve been here for 30 years. My tips, yes drink water. But I also have been walking and biking here all year round. Wear a hat. I especially walk in the summer, no ones out and it’s glorious. Acclimate by embracing the heat.

[@movingtophoenixarizonaeric]

Exactly! Summers can be very calm and relaxing

Moving from Santa Barbara CA to the Phoenix area was one of my better decisions. Once you're half a mile from the beach you're in the desert and all the above apply.

[@movingtophoenixarizonaeric]

So true! Doesn’t get talked about enough tbh. I hope you’re enjoying Phoenix!

[@rosanneallen-hewlett9973]

More rules: Oven mitts in the car for driving, and Ice water. You may actually find yourself pouring it on your head. :) Don't get into any fights over the one tree in the parking lot for shade! :) Pay attention to "excessive heat " warnings - no outside activity! Sedona is ruined due to so many new people ... go elsewhere. 🌵 🦎 🌞

I am going to Phoenix next week for work and to visit some friends. I will be staying there for 8 days (August 5-13), so I should have a sunshade for my car and a water bottle and I should be good? Oh and I will be driving there from San Diego.

@@leroysappron1629 absolutely 👍🏼

[@katjay3125]

Gloves for driving

Lame to advertise Phoenix. Phoenix is overcrowded and not that great.

it too hot in the summer most construction companies change to 3rd shift because it too hot during the summer in the daytime.

[@movingtophoenixarizonaeric]

@@NordGermanicEmpire does get very warm during the day. Mornings and nights aren’t horrible, but still very warm

[@NordGermanicEmpire]

@@movingtophoenixarizonaeric I know I been down sent 2015 what was trying to explain to your Germanic blood during the winter & fall construction companies work during the daytime. but the summertime thy move there shifts to 2nd & 3rd shift Germanic blood because it just too hot to work in the afternoon. it is not like Nebraska in the summer you yourself being a Norse Germanic we do we do not work vary will in extreme heat. even more those there more Latin then in NE we still make up the majority here in the desert wasteland.

[@movingtophoenixarizonaeric]

@@NordGermanicEmpire definitely aggressive outside during the day for sure!
