The temperature in Pheonix has almost reached a record-breaking 122 °F (50 °C) recorded on June 26, 1990, and it's becoming harder and harder to escape the insane heat. The flights are being cancelled, and things are literally melting.

Today it's up to 116 °F (47 °C), and 168 °F (76°C) on the concrete. To illustrate just how bad the situation is we have collected some shocking images of things melting in Arizona.

Do you live there? Tells us how you deal with such high temperatures.

    If it was pissing it down with rain all the time you would still be moaning, think yourself lucky you don't live in the UK as you can get all four seasons in one day at ANY time of the year.

    Check out last week's Las Vegas Weather underground. 117 F. and I think it was even hotter. It's cooled down this week to between 103 and 108 F. We're almost always higher than Arizona.

    And to think that we were complaining about a mere 35°C (95 F) over here in Europe.

    It says it begins at 4:09 PM. Never shows anything before that. Unless you are referring to 4:27 PM looking like a 1. Also, "then it does" should say "than it does".

    Lived there one summer, 6 am, in the warm but not heated pool , with a first cup of coffee in my shorties, cleaning out what Monsoon blew and threw in the night before. The Sun rises and I stay in the shade of the pool until I am finished so the children can wake up to clean water.

    That's not melting, that's a slow painful death by wilting.

    It may have just fallen it, or it may have been drying out and needed to re-hydrate its book lungs.
