The houses there are all north of I-10; about 1 square mile. I was in
a 32 foot motorhome with no ac (the compressor was already in 'thermal
cutout' from the ambiant temperature). I had a makeshift swamp cooler
that put out 110 degree's if you sat right in front of it.
Even most of the locals leave town for the summer. A few years before
I was there, they had a 'hot one' - hitting 136 reqularly.
Now the worst I have to deal with, is the walk to the mailbox on a hot
day.
