And they don't get a break in the freezing winter.

Sure they do. Its not a long break, but its not uncommon to have temps swing up into the 60s in deep winter.

We get breaks too, not long ones but virtually every night it drops into the 70's or 80's in the summer. As for high temperatures, we also get breaks. It may hit 115 to 119 but we get plenty of 102-105 days as well and even a few 90's sprinkled in through June-August.

We always get a few double digit highs in June, July and August. Plus the entire valley drives a few hours North every weekend and escapes to double digits, it's not really that hard to drive a bit to cooler weather here, another benefit of AZ living.

I don't know about that. The only way we'll have highs in the double digits is if a strong monsoon storm come through early enough in the day to keep temps down. But they mostly come through later in the day after we're already in the triple digits.

The entire valley does not leave, though the traffic jams and accidents that clog the roads leading north make it seem like it, and also make that option ever more unpleasant with each passing year.

ONLY when a monsoon storm rolls through, then it gets swampy humid, and when the sun comes back out its back into triple digits. oooh ahhhh LOL Such a "break". Face it, summers here are the pits. IMO, anything south of the 40th parallel has garbage summers (for the most part).
