Phoenix Rising | Karen Hesse

#haikuaday
#haikuhive

And so it begins. Someday I will move. I hope. The hottest day ever recorded here was 122ºF (50ºC). This Saturday we'll be about 10 degrees away from that. And it's only June. And not even officially summer. Counting the days until fall. 🍁

But it's a dry heat!
People who've never lived here
simply can't say that. 🔥

ChaoticMissAdventures Oregons biggest coffee shop last year hired a CEO from Phoenix, and they announced yesterday they are moving everyone from Oregon to Phoenix so they can all work "together in person". I am sure the Oregon people are going to love this weather..... 1mo
JenlovesJT47 I say to people who say that — hot is hot is hot! Speaking as a Floridian. ☀️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🌊 1mo
TEArificbooks Do they get what a dry heat feels like. Image thousands of hair dryers placed directly on your skin on every inch of your body on full blast. That‘s what it feels like when it is 120+ outside. We had our air conditioner serviced today to make sure it is in top form for the summer. We are at the point of do not shop or leave the house in the afternoon. Shopping is done before 8 am or after 8 pm. 1mo

AmyG I‘m sorry. Dry heat or not…that‘s brutal. 1mo
AnneCecilie I can‘t even imagine this. I start complaining about heat when it‘s a little of half of that temperature 1mo
Hooked_on_books Sticking your head in the oven is a dry heat, too, but I don‘t recommend it. I lived in Phoenix for a couple years and wowza, the heat there is something else! 1mo
IriDas There is a difference between dry and humid, yes. But they both suck so I‘m not sure what their point is. 1mo
julieclair We lived in Dallas for several years, and while the temps didn‘t rise as high as yours, it was a dry heat. And I remember walking outside and feeling like I‘d slammed into a wall. The heat felt like a solid, physical thing. Here in South Carolina, the humid heat feels more like a smothering, clinging hug. It envelopes you. But as @JenlovesJT47 says, #HotisHotisHot and extreme heat is miserable. 1mo
Susanita I always think of the comedian John Pinette talking about going to Las Vegas in the summer: “But it‘s a dry heat, Mr. Pinette,” they told me as they loaded me into the ambulance. 1mo
TheSpineView @julieclair A perfect description of humidity. Hot is hot and I don't want to try out 110. 1mo
TheSpineView Dry is still hot. 💛🐝💛 1mo
Amor4Libros At least you have fall to look forward to. It's just hot all the time in the Dominican Republic 😂 1mo
MommyOfTwo I don‘t want temps that high but warm enough to go in the pool. It‘s been cooler here than usual. We got in the pool yesterday when it was 82° but now we are back to low 70‘s and 60‘s ? 1mo
Eggs Dry 112: like opening the oven door set at 400 degrees and stepping in 🔥 crisp…I feel ya 1mo
ShelleyBooksie Wow - such opposites- I'm grumpy because it's June and only 15 Celsius here and rainy. That heat is intense! 1mo
dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures Would that be Dutch Bros? They won't know what hit 'em! 🔥 1mo
dabbe @JenlovesJT47 I grant you, though, that 100+ º+ humidity over 50% is just soup boiling on the stove. 😅🔥😅 1mo
dabbe @TEArificbooks 🎯🩵🎯 If we don't get the dogs out for their walk before 7 AM, #fuhgeddaboudit
1mo
dabbe @JenReadsAlot 🎯🩵🎯 1mo
dabbe @AmyG I know it's Phoenix, and that's what to expect, but every damn year I still go through sticker shock. 😳 1mo
dabbe @AnneCecilie It's a true desert out here. 1mo
dabbe @Hooked_on_books #iyktyk, right? 🎯🩵🎯 1mo
dabbe @IriDas “Their point“ as in my point in this haiku? I've had enough folks in my life from out of state who like to tell us Arizonans that we should be grateful it's only a “dry“ heat and not a humid one. Of course, they've never truly lived here for an entire summer (where we do have a monsoon season where it will be 110+ degrees AND 60%+ humidity) to experience the entire spectrum of heat. That's what got on my nerves today and had me write this. 1mo
dabbe @julieclair 🎯🩵🎯 1mo
dabbe @Susanita OMG! 🤣😅🤣 1mo
dabbe @TheSpineView Not with the % of humidity you get there! 😅🔥😅 1mo
dabbe @TheSpineView TY! 🖤🐝🖤 1mo
dabbe @Amor4Libros Oh, no, is it? 😳 What's the lowest it gets there? I am so sorry you have to experience that! I'd say 80º + 80% humidity is equal to 110º here with less than 10% humidity. Both are tough, aren't they? 🔥😅🔥 1mo
dabbe @MommyOfTwo Do you have a spare bedroom? I'm on my way! 🤣😅🔥 1mo
dabbe @Eggs I know I speak for the Texans, too, right? #ifktyk🔥 1mo
dabbe @ShelleyBooksie I seriously teared up reading this. Is there any chance it'll be that cold at the end of July? #agirlcandream 😅🔥😅 1mo
IriDas @dabbe No, I got the haiku and groaned when I saw your temps, what‘s the point in them saying it in the first place. I‘ve heard it too, having lived in SoCal‘s desert. My ex mil once claimed that after 105F, all heat felt the same. 😂 She had never lived inland. People are so weird about the weather. Why can‘t folks just empathize? 1mo
dabbe @IriDas I'm super weird about it because I have lived here most of my life, and I know how horrible it gets. And yet I still can't stop bitching when that first week of that 105+-you-know-will-be-here-until-the-end-of-September season starts.

P.S. I lived in Escondido and understand that inner climate perfectly; it's basically Phoenix! 🔥 Yet the ocean is a hell of a lot closer for you! 🤣

AnnCrystal Crazy, just crazy 🐝🙏🏼🏜️🌤️⛅🌥️🐝💝. 1mo
IriDas @dabbe Really? It‘s worse there? I used to console myself by saying “well, at least I don‘t live in Arizona.” 😂 🥵 1mo
dabbe @IriDas Now THAT'S funny. 🤣😍🤣 1mo
JenlovesJT47 Yes, so true! Just got back from the grocery store at 9 pm and I‘m sweating 🥵 it‘s 90 something here and so humid. 1mo
Leftcoastzen Wish I could be gone May 15th to the beginning of October 1mo
MemoirsForMe Oh my! Time to stock up on ice cream and popsicles! 🍦 1mo
Eggs @dabbe 🙌🏻🙌🏻 1mo
bellabella Humidity for us. 😖 1mo
lil1inblue Yikes! Just reading that temp makes me hot! Maybe we should have a haiku hive retreat near me - our forecast for the next week has highs in the 50s and 60s! 😂 😉 1mo
dabbe @JenlovesJT47 I feel your pain as we just got back from our dog walk. I hate when my head sweats! 🤣🔥 1mo
dabbe @Leftcoastzen That's about the right amount of time, isn't it? 🤣 1mo
dabbe @MemoirsForMe Excellent idea! 😍 1mo
dabbe @bellabella Yikes. 🥵🔥🥵 1mo
dabbe @lil1inblue Where do you live? Cuz I'm now living vicariously through you! 🤩 1mo
Leftcoastzen @dabbe though honestly, we had an extra hot October last year . 1mo
lil1inblue @dabbe Michigan's Upper Peninsula - near Mama Superior. It's 50 and chilly today. 😊 1mo
dabbe @Leftcoastzen I was going to write that, but I didn't trust my senile memory. It didn't seem to finally get cool until Thanksgiving! 🤣 1mo
dabbe @lil1inblue Oh, what a lovely place! My whole family is from Grand Rapids, and Matt's from Port Huron. We spent our honeymoon on Mackinac Island. But that upper peninsula ... wow! 😍 1mo
lil1inblue @dabbe I do love it here! 😍 My family is from Illinois, but I came here for college and couldn't leave! My husband's (Kevin) family is from the Detroit area. 1mo
Meshell1313 Ooh no! 🥵 sending cool thoughts your way! 1mo
dabbe @Meshell1313 TY! BTW, I hope to be mailing your package tomorrow! 😍 1mo
