It depends on where you are in the state.



The upper northeast portion of the state (about a third) is up on the Colorado Plateau with elevations well over 5000 feet (Flagstaff is 7000 feet). Here summers are very mild (rarely reaches 100) and winters include snow storms and night time lows that can drop below zero.



The lower two-thirds of Arizona (including Phoenix and Tucson) is mostly Sonoran desert. Here the temperatures in winter range from the low 70s during the day to the 30s or 40s at night. In summer, temperatures can range from over 115 in the day to a low in the 80s or 90s at night. It is usually clear and sunny most of the time. What little rain we get typically comes with scattered rainstorms during the winter and mostly with the monsoons during the summer. Monsoons are a season of afternoon thunderstorms that generally lasts from early July through August.



However, even in the desert regions of Arizona, there are many scattered mountain ranges whose high elevations (7000+) create little 'islands' of pine forests and much cooler temperatures than the surrounding deserts. The upper portions of these mountains have a climate that is more like the northern part of the state.What's Arizona's average weather and climate?
