I don’t recall Broomie ever having a pacemaker; but it is a convenient excuse for little opportune nappies (especially when engaged in a boring conversation)!
Actually, in Phoenix there is somewhat of a problem with humidity (thanks to irrigation in nearby farmland), although surely not like Houston with its natural Gulf moisture. Wait until you visit Yuma, though: higher temperatures, plus the Colorado River and irrigation nearby… just passing through at noon @ 120 degrees, and stopping at a gas station, was a trial!

From Wikipedia on Phoenix (which, like Tucson, also can get rather humid during the “monsoon season”, although still not like Houston can get):Overnight lows greater than 80 °F (27 °C) occur frequently each summer, with the average July low being 81 °F (27 °C), and the average August low being 80 °F (27 °C). On average, 67 days throughout the year will see the nighttime low at or above 80 °F (27 °C). The highest low temperature recorded in Phoenix was 96 °F (36 °C), which occurred on July 15, 2003.28Precipitation is sparse during a large part of the summer, but the influx of monsoonal moisture, which generally begins in early July and lasts until mid-September, raises humidity levels and can cause heavy localized precipitation and flooding occasionally. Winter months are warm, with daily high temperatures ranging from the mid-50’s to high 70’s, and low temperatures mostly in the low 40s, occasionally dipping below 40.

Those early pacemakers were wind powered. Which is why they ate a diet high in beans and cruciferous vegetables. :-D
