That's what the calendar says. Mother Nature laughs at your puny calendar...
There is talk online about an "exodus" from the desert, with snowbirds (RVers) who come to spend the winter in Arizona places like Quartsite, living off-grid, moving north. I get that. Most RVs are not equipped to run air conditioning 24 hours a day unless they are plugged in. Our high-tech whiz-bang RoadTrek with the lithium batteries can handle about 7 to 8 hours of running the A/C without needing to recharge the batteries - either plugged in to electric, the solar panels, or (best re-charging) via the "under-hood generator." And, realistically, that isn't going to happen 24 hours a day. And, if you are sitting out in the desert (boondocking) when it is over 100º, you are going to be pretty miserable in an RV. Fact. So, I get that "exodus."
It is just damn hot. And, way too early for this kind of heat. We are 20 to 30º warmer than what is typical right now. It causes me concern for what this upcoming summer is going to be like.
