We end up in Oh and KS visiting family and camp in the Northern part of AZ. We use a swamp cooler and until the middle of July it is useful and the windows and doors are still open. We come home to the heat but use the A/C, everything gets done early early morning, stores don't even open early enough. Then stay inside until evening. My husband live in Bahrain for many years and loves the heat. The hotter the better. yikes! - J
