Moving from Arizona to Alabama

Arizona’s relentless summer heat, often exceeding 115°F for months, drives residents to Alabama’s more moderate temperatures and higher humidity that actually feels refreshing by comparison. The Southwest’s ongoing water shortages and rising utility costs make Alabama’s abundant rainfall and reasonable power bills seem like luxury. Arizona’s sprawling desert landscape offers little variety, while Alabama provides forests, hills, and diverse terrain for different recreational activities. The cultural richness of Alabama’s music and literary heritage provides artistic depth often missing in Arizona’s newer, more transient communities.
