Temperatures during the day range approximately 80 degrees to 106 degrees. The highest elevations do receive significant snowfalls but the lower areas tend to be mostly dry.

For most of Arizona for most of the year, it is very dry and very hot. During the summer months is monsoon season, so you can expect heavy rain and, surprisingly, floods. Also expect temperatures that easily pass into three digits. Up north, it snows during the winter and is never as hot during the summer months.

Arizona has a desert climate with extremely hot summers and mild winters, though the mountains in the north have cooler weather than the desert areas. However, because Arizona's geographical area is large and its elevation varies widely, various regions have localized climate conditions.
