Tucson resident reports hotter summers and changes to her daily routine
Bracamonte said she has lived in Arizona her whole life and is used to adjusting her schedule and outdoor activities around high temperatures, particularly during the summer months.
She said the heat now reaches further into her day-to-day life. Bracamonte cited summer plans with family members across the region, meetups with friends, road trips and her daily morning walk routine.
“I’ve noticed at least a 10 degree difference in the weather,” Bracamonte said. “Every summer, it seems to be getting hotter and hotter.”
The Associated Press report described Bracamonte as a retired nurse from Tucson. Her account focuses on how she says high temperatures are affecting ordinary plans involving family, friends, travel and outdoor activity.
