As far as the oven comment. Most south-eastern states feel almost unbearable in the summer because of the high humidity. Phoenix temps are high, but almost no humidity. Meaning when you're in the shade it's very comfortable. We are in our pool most of the summer (with an ice cold beer) and when we get out, the water evaporation occures so fast we are actually chilled, even at 112 degrees. Our winter is like fall in the east. Stone cold chillin in da south west!
