<div class="bbWrapper">I was just in Scottsdale two weeks ago. I am planning to visit one more time before I move hopefully during the summit event assuming it will be in Feb. <br /> <br /> The heat didn&#039;t bother me. It was like 110 the first day which was a little hotter than I&#039;m used too and the other days were like 104. Completely tolerable IMO. I would compare 110 in Scottsdale to like 95 in So FL, maybe even slightly more comfortable. It was slightly interesting driving with the windows down at 9pm and its 103 out and it feels ridiculous. <br /> <br /> I see it was 120 there this weekend. That would have been interesting to experience.<br /> <br /> Absolutely love Scottsdale so far and Arizona in general.</div>

Lets take somewhere like Clearwater. Right now you are looking at 70+% humidity everyday with temps at about 90. That to me is worse weather in comparison. The big downside is that you get no reprieve. At night it drops only to the high 70s while still being very humid. Then the daily thunderstorms. <br /> <br /> 100+ degree will always be hot. The same as 70% humidity will always be awful and draining. <br /> <br /> Say you live in Phoenix and want a bit of a break, take a couple hour drive to the mountains like Flagstaff and have much different temps. In FL if you want a big of a change you can take a quick trip to....I dunno, Virginia to get a different climate? <img src="/community/imgs/emoticons/em-smile2.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /></div>
