I'm so depressed. Forecast high for Saturday is 113. UPDATE EVEN WORSE! [View all]

Last edited Thu Sep 26, 2024, 12:31 PM - Edit history (1)

Phoenix wasn't always like this.

By this time, growing up, I needed a sweater in the mornings and evenings.

113 and it's almost October.

The planet is burning up and we pretend like everything's fine.

ON EDIT: Yesterday was 113. Saturday's forecast is now 115. Dear god in heaven.....
