Arizona Weather

 

 

Weather in Arizona varies greatly depending on what part of the state you are visiting and what time of year.

Central and Southern Arizona temps in Spring are generally warm (high 70's and 80's, but can be much cooler at night low 40's or 50's) Summer temps expect hot and dry (high 90's and 100+ degrees are normal)

If you are visiting Northern Arizona expect summer temps to be around 80 degrees and winter averages around 40 degrees, dipping into single digits at night. This can catch many visitors off guard, who do not think Arizona gets that cold. If you visiting in the winter bring appropriate attire, and enjoy the Arizona snow.

The state's precipitation varies. At Flagstaff the annual average precipitation is 18.31 inches; Phoenix averages 7.64 inches
