Arizona Springtime

So a couple posts ago I posted about Oregon Springtime... well now it's time to compare with Arizona Springtime!

Oregon valley night temperatures: 37 degrees
Arizona valley night temperatures: 60 degrees

Oregon valley day temps: 70 degrees
Arizona valley day temps: 100 degrees

Oregon rain: 2-4 inches/month
Arizona rain: .15 - 1 inch/month

Oregon is blossoming with cherry blossoms, plum blossoms and tulips, and Arizona is blossoming in Saguaro cactus flowers, ocotillo, and prickly pear.


It's barelly halfway into May and temperatures here are no longer below 100 degrees in the daytime. This weekend we'll have temps around 106! By mid August I'll be saying this, but 15 degrees hotter! Oh, joy.
