Average climate data site

Did you know that the average annual temperature here in Phoenix is 75.05 °F? That’s actually lower than Miami and significantly higher than Dallas. The site doesn’t provide any statistics on the annual variability, there’s not even a standard deviation (SD). I’d expect Miami to have a small SD compared to Dallas, and Dallas’ SD smaller than that of Phoenix.

Here at the house, just this year, we had a low of about 28 °F in January, and a high of 118 °F in June. A 90 °F range. Historically, during the time we’ve been here the lowest low I’ve recorded was 22 °F (February 2006) and the highest high perhaps 119 °F.

Back in 1990, the highest high ever recorded in Phoenix was 122 °F. And in 1913, the lowest low ever recorded was 16 °F, making for a span of 106 °F, which is pretty impressive.
