As a matter of fact, it is so dry (humidity about 5%) that dousing a hat with water will keep you plenty cool due to extreme evaporative cooling which can make the hat feel actually cold when biking even though it is +100. Just make sure you don't run out of water....;) Yes, it gets upto around 115 in the "Super_Summer" (July-Aug) but it is dry which makes it

I used to love visiting him during the rain season; you guys have some beautiful storms. Watching the lightning on the hills of Tucson was amazing.

I often find myself looking for Fahrenheit charts too when checking out the weather in various areas. I am amazed at how hot it gets there in the summer. I'd have to stay inside for 4 months with the AC. The charts are great! I often find myself looking for Fahrenheit charts too when checking out the weather in various areas.

First, it doesn't cool off at night. If it's 115 degrees during the day it will "cool off" to about 90 degrees at 2:00 am. You never escape that heat, it is constant day and night for 4 months. But you can go swimming at 2:00 am and I have done it many times. Second, <strong>IT'S NOT A DRY HEAT IN THE SUMMER TIME! </strong>With the start of July comes "Monsoon Season" where warm moist air is pushed up from Mexico many times causing thunderstorms in the afternoon. So imagine 110 degrees with 90% humidity. And if it rains that does not cool things off it only makes it more humid! Sometimes it doesn't rain at all, you just get a huge dust storm that turns your car into a dirt clod if it is outside. After 11 years of living in Phoenix I discovered the cooler summer weather of Orange County and moved over here to enjoy the extremely high cost of living. But you can't beat Phoenix those other 8 months of the year and we go back often. As a former Phoenix resident myself you need to know the untold story about those extreme summer temperatures.
