Arizona climate

Arizona’s desert and mountain climates make it a year-round destination. The desert can have temperatures over 37 degrees (Celsius) in summer, but mid-teens in winter. In the northern mountains, summers can be quite pleasant, but the winters icy and snowy. Check before you plan your flights to Arizona as some places may surprise you – Sedona for one can be in the 30s in summer but cool enough in winter to get snow. In summer, the desert has thunderstorms that come up very quickly and cause flash floods. In winter, desert temperatures can drop to below freezing at night.

Getting around Arizona

The best way to get around the state is by car. Public transportation in Tucson and Phoenix is available for commuters and provides transport to the attractions.

Because of its size, it may be quicker to take a domestic flight from one area to the other instead of driving. Regional airports include Mesa, Payson, Prescott, Sedona, Chandler, and Scottsdale.
