We lived in retirement communities in Phoenix and Tucson areas in Arizona for many years and in Florida for many years. Enjoyed all. I played golf regularly at 105 degrees in Az and occasionally at 110, but limit it to 95 in Fl. Az heat is more insidious than Fl due to not recognizing dehydration that result every year in deaths of several canyon hikers. My allergies were worse in Az, and wife's are worse in Fl, but are kept in check with medications. Florida is preferred by us due to liking greenery better than desert and the Villages lifestyle is a deal maker. Pick your poison.
