But Its A Dry Heat

Today the high will be 104F. It is still officially monsoon season although we are getting near the end. There is no rain predicted for the next 7 days. That will take us past Labor Day.

Yesterday it was 104F and the humidity was about 20%. That is actually a little bit high for Arizona at that temperature. The reason is "monsoon season". Other times of the year we can expect about 10-12%.

However, since we practice "full disclosure" on this blog site, during monsoon, it is actually a little "muggy" at times. The humidity level can get to 50-60%.

Because we are in the realty business, we talk with folks all the time who are relocating from the Midwest. They cannot believe how much more comfortable it is when you experience these low humidity levels.

People back in Cleveland who have never been here (or have never really spent much time here) just don't believe it! Here is an example summarizing the basic comments we would get:

"Hey Bob and Karen, great to see you. How's Arizona? I saw in the paper yesterday it has been over 100 for 25 days in a row. Of course its a dry heat! (laughter).

All we can say is, if you really want to be uncomfortable, try July in Ohio. 85 degrees with 80% humidity. Ah... wonderful. I must have gone thru 3 shirts and 4 pairs of underwear per day.

If your shirt and underwear costs are soaring, Karen and I will find you a great house in dry, sunny Arizona. Just log on to http://petrou.yourkwagent.com.
