A fun read..,
Arizona’s calendar does not operate on normal human time. It operates on survival mode. 🌵☀️
January through April? Absolute paradise. Perfect weather. Blue skies. Patio season. Everyone acts like they’ve unlocked the meaning of life.
Then May shows up like a warning shot.
June is not summer. June is preheating. July is the full oven. August is character development. And September is just August in a fake mustache pretending it’s almost fall.
Monsoon season pulls up for 20 minutes, floods one road, throws dust everywhere, gives us one dramatic sky pic, and leaves like nothing happened.
October lies to you in the morning. November earns everyone’s forgiveness. And every Arizona resident spends half the year explaining that yes, it’s a dry heat… while still burning their hands on the steering wheel.
Arizona time is measured by AC bills, pool access, shaded parking, and how long you can touch your seatbelt buckle without seeing God.
Some people will say August is the worst. Some will say September, because at least August is honest. And honestly, October might be the real villain for pretending to be fall before betraying everyone by lunch.
This chart is not a joke. This is science.
