Thank you for elucidating on my points further.

Yes, I have come to accept the 'drought' as the normal. The Haboob's forced my partner and I to find special filters for our A/C unit as we are both prone to lung issues especially when ozone and particulates are at all time highs. The brown cloud is definitely coming back to Phoenix quickly.

Well, yes, May was hot but not 'super' hot. But Summer technically just started on the 22nd, so we are off to a very, very hot start. There are storms predicted about two weeks out, but will they bring rain or walls of dirt?

I don't think the humidity will rise. I suspect Phoenix will become more like Death Valley - very hot, very dry, and livable only for the most insane. Of course, that might be a century from now, and while I am certain I will be dead, I still care about future generations.

I agree with the sleep deprivation as well. I never sleep well when it is this hot. I have made little 'ice packs' to sleep with using a sock filled with rice and then placed in the freezer. Placed over my eyes, it really cools me down with a fan blowing over my body.
