Phoenix enjoys over 300 days of sunshine each year, making it one of the sunniest cities in the United States. Summers are extremely hot, with daytime temperatures often exceeding 110°F from June through September. Winters, on the other hand, are mild and pleasant, with daytime highs typically ranging from the mid-60s to mid-70s.
The dry climate is a major adjustment for many newcomers. Staying hydrated, using sunscreen daily, and keeping your home well air-conditioned become part of everyday life. Most residents also plan outdoor activities during the early morning or evening during the summer months.
