Marty, Welcome to Trike Talk Forum.

We have many members in Arizona around Phoenix.

Do you really enjoy those 115 degree days you get ????

Really enjoy, especially from Nov 1st to May 1st

its sort of like heating the house for winter, people use the heater....well in the summer people use the air conditioner. It is the reverse. I am originally from Michigan. I will take the heat over shoveling anyday, anymore.

DAYS WITH 110 DEGREES OR HIGHER 1896-1995



Most residents of Phoenix put up with temperatures below 110 without grumbling. However, when the mercury climbs to 110 or higher, even the old-timers feel the heat and begin to complain.

The average number of days per year with a maximum temperature of 110 degrees or higher is 9.9. These days are distributed throughout the year as follows:

May	June	July	August	September
0.1	3.3	4.4	1.7	0.4

The least number of such days was 0 in 1911.

The greatest number of such days was 28 in 1979.

The greatest number of consecutive days with maximum temperature of 110 degrees or higher was 18 from June 12 through June 29, 1974.

There is a 30 percent probability that the last 110 degree temperature or higher will occur as late as August19.

The 50 percent level also gives the average date of the first occurrence in spring and the average date of the last occurrence in fall.
