And here I am in Zurich, Switzerland, diying with 32 degrees (i have every day migraine headache because of the heat) and you all have to live in the hell.

They called it Phoenix for a good reason.

As an Arizona native we were tough to respect the heat. after all we live in a desert. What fool would install plastic outside in this environment? 40 years ago we hit 134 and all the streets melted, auto tires were exploding, and yes even the biggest jet planes could not fly.

Wow, this is a total eye opener! Thanks to all for sharing - stay safe!

I live in Saudi and I thought we had it the hottest! It's 41 and I can't step a foot outside! But seems like Arizona is even hotter.

The mailbox looks like it didn't melt completely, just weaken and the bending moment caused by the mailbox caused the bend we see. I don't think the garbage can was due to just the 50C temps. The melting is too localized for that. Perhaps a mirror or something was intensifying the heat. Another possibility (the one I am inclined to believe) is that someone put something burning inside. I'd also expect some of the items, particularly the juice box and beer case, to exhibit some damage.

Hello, I live here in Phoenix and YES it's HOT, it's a dry heat so 122' is like 106' in the east with humidity. We are night owls, we do grocery shopping at midnight (thank god walmart is open 24/7 and people do their daily runs at 11pm at night. 4am is like 89' but we drink lots of water and survive. Lots of tires are blown and car batteries dies every year to every other year due to the heat. As a 16yr Michigan resident, I would still after 9 yrs living here rather be here in the heat paying 300.00 a month for a/c for 3 months then 5-600.00 a month for heat for 5 months. it's just a adjustment or we move out and I see more and more ppl moving from the snow to here especially see every month for my 9 yrs here michigan plates all the time. it's funny we have a future here as we don't in michigan. I dont known nothing about out of the usa this is just my experience here.

I live in Phoenix. I have never had a recycle or trash bin melt. And they are in full sun all day.

the water coming out of the pipes is so hot - you cant take a cold shower - literally. One store was offering for a purchase - you could have 10 minutes in their walk in freezer - seriously

I'm in Arizona and I can confirm the heat is real.

Typical aussie summer!

But it's a dry heat! lol

I know it is kind of normal to be so hot at this time in year in Arizona... but still what comes first to my mind are the ridiculous statements of Trump, that we are still having snow and it was too cold to believe in the "global warming s**t".....

Thank goodness it's a DRY HEAT.

disappointed no one tried to fry an egg, but cookies are good too

Yep, It's hotter than anything sensible here right now. This is like walking death, everyone hides and seeks out that little tiny strip of anything shade.

The heat is the one thing that killed living in Arizona for me--maybe accept for living up in the hills in Prescott. Imagine what is going to happen with climate change when the temperatures rise to 150 degrees.
