It reaches high temperatures in the summer, but in February it is not too cold it is around the 70s. It really is not that bad unless you want to swim or ride your motorcycle around town.
I've lived in Arizona for about 14 years now, and I've seen snow down in the Tucson valley about 2 inches deep. Don't get me wrong, it reaches near 120 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, but snow is still possible. The snow seems to come later, though...we get more snow in April/May than we do during the holiday season. Don't expect a white Christmas. :)What is the weather like in Arizona?
Arizoina is hot all year its soo hot you can't go out side during the day only early morning and at night.
hot hot
Like whats been said, in the summer it can get very hot. But it's pretty dry so even up to 100 degrees can be tolerable. The winters are wonderful in the Valley.(Phoenix area) Temps in the 70's and occasionally 60's. It gets cold in higher elevations like Flagstaff and Snowflake(yeah that's a real city) and can even snow. Flag has some good skiing
Due to its large area and variations in elevation, the state has a wide variety of localized climate conditions. In the lower elevations, the climate is primarily desert, with mild winters and hot summers. Typically, from late fall to early spring, the weather is mild, averaging a minimum of 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15掳C). November through February are the coldest months with temperatures typically ranging from 40鈥?5 掳F (4鈥?4 掳C), although occasional frosts are not uncommon. About midway through February, the temperatures start to rise again with warm days, and cool breezy nights. The summer months of May through August bring a dry heat ranging from 90鈥?20 掳F (32鈥?8 掳C), with occasional high temperatures exceeding 125 掳F (52 掳C) having been observed in the desert area. Due to the primarily dry climate, large temperature swings often occur between day and night, with some as large as 50 掳F (28 掳C) in the summer months.



However, the northern third of Arizona is a plateau at significantly higher altitudes than the lower desert, and has an appreciably cooler climate, with cold winters and mild summers. Extreme cold temperatures are not unknown; cold air systems from the northern states and Canada occasionally push into the state, bringing temperatures below 0 掳F (鈥?8 掳C) to the higher parts of the state.



Arizona has an average annual rainfall of 12.7 inches (322 mm),[3] which comes during two rainy seasons, with cold fronts coming from the Pacific Ocean during the winter and a monsoon in the summer.[4] The monsoon season occurs from the middle of July through August and brings lightning, thunderstorms, wind, and torrential, if usually brief, downpours. It is rare for tornadoes and hurricanes to occur in Arizona, but there are records of both occurring.



Indicative of the variation in climate, Arizona is the state which has both the metropolitan area with the most days over 100 掳F (37.8 掳C) (Phoenix), and the metropolitan area in the lower 48 states with the most days with a low temperature below freezing (Flagstaff).
