Oh my glob, the VALIDATION I felt when I first read the statistic that Phoenix had more than doubled its days over 110 from what it was twenty+ years ago. I wasn't imagining it, the heat really is getting worse. And I say this as someone who LOVES summer. I just don't love "110 degrees summer." Where I grew up it was a BIG DEAL when we'd hit triple digits, and it only happened once or twice each summer.

Right? Like, it was hot when I was a kid, but it didn't feel this miserable!
