The warm southwestern climate is a draw for most visitors. The Valley sees 300 sun-filled days every year. This sets the stage for an average yearly temperature of 72 degrees and the word humidity is virtually none existent. The coolest month in the valley is January with a mean temperature of 51 degrees, so you won t need a snow blower. The monthly mean temperature rises steadily up to July, when the temperature often exceeds 100 degrees.
Rainfall is approximately seven inches a year, depending on the city.
Life in the Valley of the Sun is full of contrasts from the warm climate to the 150 plus golf courses, coupled by the six lakes located just over an hour s drive from the valley. Not to mention the diverse cultures ranging from the Native American to Spanish. Valley living is relaxed, cosmopolitan, c onservatively progressive, casual and fun. Visitors will find a western sense of informality and leisure that slows the pace of the Valley. It is an exciting place to live too, knowing that growth and new opportunity are pretty much taken for granted here.
