    I recall flying into Phoenix Sky Harbor one summer in the 80's (I think) and the guy next to me asked about the heat in Phoenix and I said the highest on record had been 115F so nothing to worry about.
    A few minutes later the pilot announced we were beiing delayed due to high temperatures earlier that day of 121F. The airport was closed for a while because the aircraft manufacturers had only certified most planes for below 120F and the engineers were apparently required to estimate how much difference a few degrees mattered.
    I loved Phoenix in the 80s and early 90s. Still a haven of conservative individualism then.

    That meteorologist should be anchoring the news based on his ability to ad lib under pressure.

      I experienced 128 in 1994...I was driving around looking for work. My post-factory installed sunroof liner shrunk from the heat and fell on my head. It was hideous.

        When I lived in Houston area I had an after-market sunroof added to the car. Park car outside office in morning, then rain shower, then sun again. When I went to lunch I backed the car out of its space and had a surprise 'hot shower' inside the car.
        (Couldn't it have waited til after lunch to wash the spots off my tie?)
        (Fixed the leak that evening ;^)

        Sorry I missed the 128. Left in '91 and didn't return to Phoenix til '99.

    I wonder what SPF Sun Screen is recommended for Arizona. I especially liked the, "I think steel boils at" comment. If only Romney could have reacted similarly during that last debate. President put on his best mean and nasty face, tells a total lie, confirmed by stupid reported, and Romney all but chokes. Oh well, I just heard he's dropped out for the next cycle.

    What utter aplomb. This weatherman deserves a bonus. I've visited Arizona on several occasions and while it felt hot it did manage to stay below the figures on that weather map..
