As the summer rolls to an end around the country, the Phoenix area is still scoring 100 degree days.  Unlike most cities around the United States, summer doesn’t come to an end on Labor Day weekend.   In fact, it is common to have 100 degree days well into the month of October.  And, when those cool days come, it is a welcome relief to most residents in the valley of the sun.
