The reason the climate cultist single out Phoenix is due to it being in the low desert and it gets hot in the summer. Always has. Exactly like the data you provided shows. And exactly the reason we opted for higher elevation when we moved to AZ.☺
Yes, same here. We have two places, one at just over 4,000 ft and another at 6,000 ft.
Summers are not bad at all for the AZ desert. :)
