Weather in Phoenix: What to Expect at General Assembly 2012
Sunny weather. It’s the No. 1 reason visitors come to Greater Phoenix. According to data compiled by the National Climatic Data Center, Greater Phoenix basks in sunshine during 85 percent of the daylight hours—more often than any other major metropolitan area in the United States.
Greater Phoenix’s average high temperature in June is 102 degrees, with lows in the 70s. The old axiom is that “it’s a dry heat,” and there’s truth to that. The Sonoran Desert’s super-low humidity means 90-degree temperatures feel quite nice, and the arid climate causes perspiration to evaporate quickly, keeping you cooler and drier.
And it doesn’t rain much—rainfall averages 0.09 inches in June. So it's unlikely you'll need an umbrella.
Please remember that facilities are air-conditioned and temperatures in meeting rooms vary, so layered clothing is recommended. If aggressive air conditioning makes you cold, please bring a sweater!
