I was born and raised in Phoenix, and lived there until age 28. When my husband and I decided to leave the Valley of the Sun, it was because we were SO tired of being hot! We both worked in a hospital, which was overly air conditioned. When leaving it felt like stepping into a blast furnace. Then we would go to our locked up tight car and hope we could actually hold onto the steering wheel, it would be so hot. Maybe the car would start to cool down by the time we arrived home. We had a swimming pool which also warmed up in the AZ sun, so that in the evening if we went swimming it felt like being in a bathtub, not refreshing and cool.
Now we live here, but have only begun our adventure in Florida. I do not like humidity either...I hate to sweat when I'm not even doing anything but breathing. We have lived all over the country but mostly in cooler and less humid places than TV.
I would not move back to Phoenix, and will tolerate the humidity in exchange for all the wonderful things to do here in The Villages!
