So its going to be 108 degrees or so - if you don't get hammered by monsoon storms which is no bargain because they do not handle water on the roadways out here so well.....(no practice.)
Yes, it is usually a dry heat but all that means is that if you aren't careful and go walking around outside you will dehydrate quickly. If you can't stay in the shade, wear a hat and long sleeves. You want to keep the sun off your skin.

Again, I wouldn't recommend anything out-doorsy if you are not used to the heat. It is August. Every day it seems the fire department pulls some idiot hiker down off one of the mountains because they fucked up and ran out of water.
Most of the locals wait until dark and then find a bar to get blasted. Phoenix itself is not known for its night life. For that you want downtown Scottsdale or Tempe around the university.
Driving around Phoenix is easy. The city is laid out in a grid. Driving around Scottsdale is maddening. The city must have been laid out by a drunk.
Stay cool.
