It is more likely that there are periods of rain on an otherwise sunny day. Furthermore, the amount of rain that falls is very low. The maximum is about 5 inches in August, but most months see an inch or less. The actual rainy season is in the winter when about four inches fall each month.

Phoenix is in a desert, and the temperatures demonstrate this, especially in the summer months. It is not unheard of to reach 106 degrees or higher. On the other hand the 60-degree and 70-degree weather of the winter months is definitely a reason that many people leave snowy climates and come to the Valley of the Sun. Find today’s weather.
