Finally Under 100 degrees

I admit it right up front, I am not a native Arizonian! I just survived my third Arizona summer and I am so relieved it is over. It is now the middle of Oct and finally we seem to be staying under 100. People say, "It's a dry heat". One person described it as a heat that melts the meat off of your bones. My personal assessment would be closer to the second description. I find it oppressive, able to catch my breath with its intensity when we are sitting at 115 midafternoon.
But boy do I appreciate the remaining 8 to 9 months of the year in Tempe, AZ where the weather is usually much more pleasant than most of the rest of the country.
So, just one person's experiences in the desert.
Thanks.
