It hit 90 in Phoenix yesterday, almost 20 degrees above average for the date. That 20 degree difference has not been unusual this month either.
Last year we had nearly 5 months of 100+ degree weather, including nearly 4 consecutive months of it. There was a long string of days where the temp never dipped below 90 at any time of the day--even the dead of night.
Miserable describes it for the first 30 days. After that I can't think of an adequate word.
