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.
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.![]()
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.
When it's in the 100s it will get down to the 90s overnight, not a big difference. And does it really matter if it’s 112 or 120? 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.
It absolutely matters. 110 in the shade is tolerable. 120 is an oven. Ten degrees makes a diff

Is this accurate ? Hard to believe that one could be this far from the coast & not need a/c.

BS:
The average temperature at Sky Harbor Airport for the month of August 2023 was 98.8 degrees, making it the fourth-hottest month in Phoenix history.
I don't care what you non Phoenicians say about the weather and the average temps you're pulling out of your butts. The average is 98 because its like 92 in the morning and 112 during the day. It's not 98 all day.
Exactly. It's not complicated! The average is 98 over the entire month, including night time. The average high is 108, and the max high in August 2023 was 117.

DP who also lives in Phoenix Not sure where you got those temps from but it's BS. It's 107 right now in mid June. August is 110+. My pool is currently 90 and won't go below that until September.
