How hot was it at RDD in Phoenix. Arizona?

Touch anything metal that has been in the sun, and you had a lasting red burn mark
Ice cream served at the break without any spoons? Just take it outside and you could drink it within 10 minutes.
Temperatures are 104-107F, or 40C to those from outside the US. Serious heat. What it feels like when you take a peek inside the oven while cooking, and that painful blast of hot air blows across your face.
