In the desert regions (including the Phoenix metropolitan
area), daytime temperatures can top 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
The highest temperature ever recorded was 127 degrees in Parker in 1905.More recently, Phoenix reached 122 degrees in 1992 and 121 degrees in 1995. But it's not always that hot. In the deserts, winter temperatures average in the 50s and 60s.
In the high country, winter temps are in the 20s and 30s on average, and summer temps average in the 70s. As for precipitation (including snow), it varies according to elevation. In the deserts of the southwest corner of the state, less than 5 inches fall annually. In the mountains and along the Mogollon Rim, 25 inches fall every year. Most precipitation occurs during winter storms in December through March and summer thunderstorms from mid-July to mid-September. Summer storms provide up to 70 percent of the precipitation in the deserts.
