Thankfully it's never 115F where I live! Summer daytime temperatures here are typically in the 80s or sometimes 90s (90's have gotten more common in recent years). Usually it cools down considerably overnight.

We tell ourselves, of course, that the trade-off is that we have gorgeous winters, and we do. No argument. But I've been here, on and off, since 1979 and there's simply no two ways about it--the ever-increasing size of the city, the pavement, the planted trees and lawns have created a heat island that's ruined the daily "monsoons" (a misnomer) that we used to have each afternoon, like clockwork, through the worst part of the summer. It would rain like hell, each afternoon, around 2-3:00 pm and cool the city down, from the radiant heat of the sidewalks, pavement, etc. and it made the summers far more bearable.
Now? Now we
never see them, certainly not the old reliable dailies. Yes, we get "monsoons" and "haboobs," but it's rare, not daily, and not each afternoon.
(sigh). I've increasingly wanted to relocate for half the year, each year, but my other option has bupkus for bandwidth, so I could never do it, as I need that to run my biz. Rats!
