Current weather in Phoenix is almost the same (actually we're at 74F),

Yeah, Phoenix starts to look pretty nice about now. (Although we have had
another very nice fall here in Iowa, with temps pushing into the upper 40s
almost every day. That's about to change, I suspect...)

Too bad Phoenix is such a blast furnace from April till October.

I was in Phoenix with my kids hockey team the first weekend of October.
First time I had been there since the mid 70's when I was a kid on a
family trip. I can't for the life of me figure out why anybody would
live there even in the winter, much less the hotter months. If you
don't golf you have absolutely nothing to do. Give me Florida and a
nice humid 85 on the beach anytime.
