Thanks. I must admit, when I last visited Arizona in the Fall, I wondered why you don’t remind us of these things more often.:) Rub it in, won’t you? (Maybe you were just trying to be nice by not posting this back during our big snowstorms.)

For your next trick, you can tell us what’s so great about living in Arizona in the summertime.

Oh that’s easy. The great thing about Arizona in the summer is that you are spending your time somewhere else. :)

About 1/3 of Arizona has an elevation of 2500ft or less, though for sure that’s where the vast majority of people live (I have no idea why). A large fraction, maybe close to 1/2 I’m guessing, sits above 5000ft. And that topographically blessed fraction has mighty fine weather indeed.

Here are the summer month’s historical avg for my Arizona town:

June: High 86 Low 48
July: 89 57
August: 86 56

That said, Berkeley has mighty fine weather too, though when I lived in Santa Clara we exceeded 100 several times (no ac).

Nice website.
