You have to live in Arizona not just visit it. We spent a long winter there a few years ago, got there in September and left in May. I hiked the desert, climbed all of the mountains and played softball on lots of days that it was over 100 degrees. The worst part was when you were in the sun, it would burn you up. Once you are in the shade, 110 degrees is very tolerable. The evenings we found to be the worst. Once the sun started to go down and the temps to below 80, we had to go in, too cold. I guess what I want to say is if you spend the winter there and your body gets acclimated to the rising temps, they are great. You never sweat either. Our problem was that it is too far from our home state of Michigan. I can see why people want to live there though.
