Tucson, AZ - It's a Dry Heat - Come See For Yourself!!
It's April in Tucson, Arizona and the weather is fine. No really, it is. It's cooled down to 91 degrees already at 10 p.m.! And remember, little or no humidity...it's a dry heat.
The weather-folk warned us last week that coming weekend time, we would most likely be hitting triple digits. Official reports have us at 101 or 102 on Sunday, but my car said it was 106 driving down the freeway at 5 p.m. Amazing.
Honestly, I love Tucson, AZ. I feel like I'm on permanent vacation. (Even though I tend to work 6.5 days a week) Palm trees, swimming pools, every day is a sunny day - how can you be depressed - it's a SUNNY day!!
With the low humidity and high temps, also comes low chance of mosquitoes. Honestly, I don't think I've gotten a single mosquito bite in the last eleven years.
And the wind...WOW! On a windy summer day, I call that blow dryer weather. Seriously, I used to have hair way down my back and five minutes was all it took to go from swimming pool to mad pile of frizz.
And trust me, summer is a great time to visit Tucson. The hotels all have deals. "Staycations" they call them. Resorts drop their prices to $99 a night. NICE resorts.
I moved here in June, 2000, so I'm approaching twelve years in the "Old Pueblo". I love the rocky hills and mountains. I love to watch people rake their gravel yards. I adore the sunsets. I love the town feel in a city that nears the 1,000,000 mark when school's in session and the snowbirds are here. (Snow birds are folks that come from snowy locale to enjoy our mild winters. Summer ducks are those that duck out to milder climates when the temperatures rise.)
If you have had one rainy spring (summer, fall, winter) in the Pacific Northwest too many; Or one record setting frigid winter in the Midwestern States more than you can bear; Or, would just like to avoid working up a sweat drying off from your shower along most the Southern and Eastern United States in summer - give us a call.
We're here with our sun tan lotion, our aloe vera for our hands and feet, and our Ray-bans firmly seated on our nose. We're here ready to welcome you to our town, and hope it becomes your town too.
