This is fairly normal for Phoenix. It's on the hot end, sure, but it's very dry there so 110 feels nothing like it would in Florida where you'd actually die. The bigger issue to Phoenix is dwindling water once the aquifer finally runs out of water.

It's 120f in Italy at the moment.

I was mistaken, it's predicted to reach 120f.
