Normal range is built from historical Phoenix data (1895–2025) for each calendar day the historical mean daily high is calculated and then normal range plots a band of mean ± 2 × standard error. `Standard error is SD` = standard deviation of historical daily highs for that calendar day (across years before 2026) `divided by sqrt of n` = number of historical years available for that day.

Climate change makes it hard to trust climate descriptions when looking for a place to move or visit.

I’ve been to Phoenix a few times for work. I am pissed off at how huge that city is. Why the *fuck* anyone lives there?

People who live in places that are miserably cold and wet for 75% of the year shit on places that are miserably hot for 25% of the year.
I recognize that the point of this post is that Phoenix is getting hotter earlier and the “nice” % of the year is decreasing. But more generally it catches more shit than it deserves from people who live in places with awful weather in the other direction for more days out of the year.
I think too-cold weather is “normal” for doughy white people and too-hot weather is comparatively unusual

Isn’t it possible to slow cook from basically 50C/122F ? or close to it?

Its curious that the temperatures seem to peak at the end of June, that’s really early! Likewise the winter daytime highs are lowest in late December. There is almost no seasonal lag at all in Phoenix!

I think the worrying thing is just how fast climate change is happening. I remember 20 years ago back at school (yes, a long time ago), we were always warned about climate change. But even back then, we were taught that it would impact us towards the end of the century.
We’re at the quarter mark and it’s already massively impacting us. Really scary to think how things will be in the next 10/20/30 years, let alone 100 years time

If it makes you feel better over a much larger time frame it’s cooler than most years.

I live in California and we just had March monthly records all over the center of the state. It was in the 90s in Oakland. Not good.

Sorry this sub is about data. Use a scientific metric : Celsius or kelvin. Thank you

But remember, according to the Epstein class, climate change is a hoax and fossil fuels are the future!

Colorado has been breaking records this year too. Gonna be an extremely hot summer.

It’s as if the long-term weather isn’t the same as it used to be. I wish there was a more elegant way to put that.

Global warming is just so hot right now.
To be fair, man was not meant to live in Phoenix in the first place.
