I've lived in Yuma for most of my life (going on over 50) and so did my Dad and my Grandfather. We are old time Yuma people.

The temps are hot and humid for several months in the summer. When I say hot - I mean slap you in the face HOT. Like opening a hot oven door. You will spend a lot of time with Air Conditioners on Cold and ceiling fans on high.

Car steering wheels are to hot to touch and car seats (if plastic or leather) will burn your legs if you are wearing shorts.

Winters can get below freezing but we don't have snow or ice. The population of Yuma increases dramatically in the Winter as people from Northern U.S. flock to our area because it's so mild.

Today is March 9th and I'm outside in the sun and about 80 degrees. Gorgeous day and the plants think it's spring - lot's of new growth.

We have a diverse community - Farming - Military - Retired folks - and Hispanic makes up a large part of that group.

With the Mexico border within 15 minutes and several Indian Tribes surrounding us - it's often a very interesting mix of people everywhere you go in town.

The land surrounding Yuma AZ is desert. Just plain sand and scrub plants. Some small mountain ranges are near and we have some of the best sunsets in the world.
