About Phoenix
Lauded for its temperate climate and year-round sunshine, Phoenix has an appeal that extends far beyond the weather. Relaxed and sprawling, this fast-growing city is popular with retirees and tourists alike. It, along with the entire Valley of the Sun, celebrates its Southwestern heritage in museums, galleries, shops, and an amazing variety of regional restaurants. The beauty of the desert landscape also provides an irresistible appeal; resorts and golf courses capitalize on the rugged, otherworldly terrain, attracting thousands of visitors each year. Culture isn't lacking either. From the Heard Museum to the Arizona Science Center, art and exploration coexist happily. There's also shopping at Heritage Square, hot-air balloon rides in the desert, and outdoor concerts throughout the year. Plus, the Grand Canyon and the Red Rock Country of Sedona are only a few hours away. The Suns, the Coyotes, and the Rattlers sports teams also call this bustling, welcoming city home.
Did you know?
With more than 300 days of sunshine each year, it seems as though anytime would be a great time to visit Phoenix. That's really not the case. In general, even though temperatures can reach 120 degrees, the humidity is low and you can get comfortable. However, during the late summer, humidity builds up and releases itself during the rainy season known as the Monsoon. In just minutes, the pitter patter of rain-drops can accumulate to massive amounts of water and cause devastating flash floods.
