We are in the high desert at about 4500 ft of elevation, so our normal temperatures can range from the low 100’s in summer to the low 20’s in winter. Our summers are very hot and dry. We can even have snow in the winter.
Typically between June-September. Consequently during this time Microbursts can be common resulting in extreme fluctuations in wind and weather conditions.
Northern Arizona is known for zero to minimal cloud coverage and a UV index up to 7 in the peak of summer. Protection against skin and eye damage is extremely important. Sunglasses, sun shirts, and wide brimmed hats will help with your exposure to the sun.
