How do you cope with Arizona's heat?

Anyone who's spent time in Arizona during the summer months knows how hot the weather can get. Miserably, unforgivingly, unbelievably hot.

As climate change pushes temperatures across the planet higher and higher, we want to hear from you. How do you deal with Arizona's heat now? And what will you do as it continues to get even worse?

Everything you share will be read by journalists only, and your responses are confidential unless you tell us we may publish them. If you have any questions about this project, contact Nick Blumberg.

What do you do to cope with the summer heat?

Not everyone has a swimming pool or can afford to keep the air conditioning at 60 degrees. What are some affordable ways you've found to adapt to life in the desert?

Climate forecasters predict that the Phoenix area will get even hotter and drier. Could you endure a summer with more variable heat waves and more frequent 120 degree days?

What role should policy makers play in preparing for a hotter, drier city?

Now, a few questions to get to know you. These will remain private.

In what year were you born?

What is your gender?

What do you do for work?

Because it's an election year, we're asking everyone: what political party, if any, do you identify with most closely?
