If you're accustomed to zero degree weather and come to Phoenix during the winter, you'll probably be sitting around your pool when the day time temperature is 65-70 when those of us who live here year round will be running around in jackets.

The year round temperature in Hawaii is between 70-80 degrees, and people are always out sunning swimming and surfing.

Here, many of us are still wearing jackets or long sleeve shirts when it's 80 degrees.

Everyone has different temperature comfort zones, and our bodies seem to adjust to the temperatures where we live.

I think it's bone chilling cold in December through February. In the winters our nights can dip down to the 20's and that is downright chilly for the desert. We had an especially cold winter this year. My bones literally hurt. Now mind you, I have lived in Arizona for 31 years so I do not tolerate the cold well. My Canadian neighbors are wearing shorts in the dead of winter when I was layered with a sweater, coat and scarf! So I guess it depends on what you are used to.

I need not remind any Phoenician that 85% of our daylight hours are sunny and it does make a glorious difference in Wintertime,with regard to warmth.
Sunshine improves mood,as you all know.Summers,I find them to be soothing to the horrid spinal surgery failures I live with.....except monsoon season.
The Valley is a fine place to live,even though it is too crowded.....you all should have seen it in the 50's!

January in Phoenix is like mid-October to mid-November in Chicago, with more sun and less rain of course.

So it's like it but totally different?

They can have cooler spells but pretty nice overall.

The longer you stay, the colder it seems.
We tend to have one or two hard freezes a year. Frost on the roof isn't a rarity.
We have winter; it's just shorter than most places.
