🌡 The weather here, in general

Scottsdale runs the full range. The warmest stretch, around July, averages a high near 106°F, while January nights average 43°F — a 63-degree spread, so a coat that works in January is useless by July and the other way round.

Heat is the defining hazard here: 167 days a year reach 90°F or hotter. That is a third of the year, and it makes shade, hydration and a working air conditioner genuine safety equipment rather than comfort.

This is dry country — roughly 12 inches a year. When rain does come it tends to arrive all at once, which is why flash flooding is a desert problem as much as a tropical one.
