Phoenix Weather

If you’ve ever watched the Weather Channel, you already know that Phoenix is one of the hottest places in the United States. 100 F days stretch from May to October with high temperatures peaking around 120 F. However, Phoenix has what many people like to call a “dry heat”. The low humidity doesn’t hold heat as well, making the summers bearable. As one would expect, Phoenix doesn’t get much rain. Most of the year rainfall is only measured in negligible amounts. Though, there is a rainy season during the late summer when humidity builds up. The rainy season, called monsoon season, is defined my erratic down pours, dust, and occasional lightening.
