Phoenix Climate

Hot desert climate. Summers (June–September) are extreme. Daytime temperatures regularly exceed 43°C, occasionally reaching 48°C. Heat alone rarely cancels flights, but density altitude affects small aircraft performance. Monsoon season (July–mid-September) brings dramatic dust storms (haboob) that close the airport when they hit, plus intense flash-flooding thunderstorms that ground departures for 30–90 minutes.

Winters are exceptionally mild (10–22°C) with virtually no precipitation and near-constant sunshine. PHX has one of the lowest weather cancellation rates of any major US airport from November through April. Spring and fall are pleasant; late May and early June are hot and dry before monsoon arrives.
