[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's like 120 in Phoenix in August. You'll be the one crying for a/c, not just the kids.[/quote]

Averages for August are more like 100-105 highs.  Lows are 20-25 degrees cooler though which means early morning can be very bearable.  August is better than July because the monsoons come to Arizona in August.  [/quote]

Thanks, I live in Phoenix. August is so hot my pool is unbearably feels like a warm bathtub. But thanks for sharing the average weather temp.  :roll: [/quote]

Sorry -- Tusconan posting and 120 seemed too high to me for August (really don't think it ever gets to 120!) so I pulled the averages offline.  I guess this is why we always say Tucson is so much better than Phoenix!  Does it really not cool down overnight?  Tucson summer nights are fabulous -- feels like velvet on your skin, and the mornings are usually tolerable for a couple of hours.  But I take your point that it is very hot.  For August, if you really want to see Arizona, the Canyon and other places with high elevation are your best bet (and hope for no fires).

I usually think 100-110 for June, 105-115 for July, and back to 100-110 for August, then into the 90s for September.

Anyway, OP might want to think about Santa Barbara down to San Diego for August.  [/quote]

When it's in the 100s it will get down to the 90s overnight, not a big difference.[b] And does it really matter if it’s 112 or 120?[/b] I mean, it's not like one is pleasant and the other starts to feel hot.  Summer is hot. Temps are well above 100 for a lot of it and it doesn't cool off appreciably at night. Nobody would vacation here for fun in the summer unless they had to.[/quote]

It absolutely matters. 110 in the shade is tolerable. 120 is an oven. Ten degrees makes a diff[/quote]

Difference [/quote]
