Moving from Alabama to Arizona

The combination of Alabama’s muggy summers and unpredictable severe weather pushes residents toward Arizona’s consistent dry heat and desert beauty. Unlike Alabama’s suffocating humidity that makes 85°F feel like 100°F, Arizona’s dry climate allows for comfortable outdoor activities even at higher temperatures. Arizona’s striking desert landscapes offer year-round hiking, rock climbing, and photography opportunities that Alabama’s relatively featureless terrain simply cannot match. The growing retirement communities and lower cost of living in many Arizona areas provide economic relief from Alabama’s limited job market and rising expenses.
