Do you guys know the weather in Arizona at this time of the year?
Heard around 90F? That is bad news for guys walking around in suits LOL.
Actually, we should be around 95 right now, but this year summer has stuck around a few extra weeks. 105 for a few days this week. Sigh.
mitsubishi1m's got it right - the weather forecast says about 95 for a high late next week. Since it's on a cooling trend, the forecast could be over/underestimating, but I wouldn't expect more than a few degrees either way. Stay tuned, the forecast should be much more accurate beginning of next week. Sometimes lower pressure zones can bring us some clouds, but I certainly wouldn't expect rain.
95 in the desert means that it will hit 95 at about 3 or 4pm, but it should still be in the 70/80s until about noon. Keep in mind that the desert usually has temperature swings of 20+ degrees throughout the day. There can be a desiccating wind that kicks up in the afternoon as it begins to cool down. There will be very little humidity, so I promise it's not as bad as it sounds (it's not like 95 in Florida, for example).
When you are here, drink more water than you want to! Drink extra for a few days when you go home, too. You may want to bring chapstick if you're from a wetter climate - even gents. I'd highly suggest sunblock. Even though I live here, I'll probably be wearing it.
I'm guessing the walking tour will be nearly first thing on the agenda, so it should still be relatively cool. It will certainly be cool indoors - the cooling systems are actually probably overkill, if it's like most buildings in AZ, especially as the weather changes.
PS, if you're planning on taking a taxi on the morning of the interview - plan on calling one. There are plenty of taxis at the airport, but in most parts of the city, you can't just stick your thumb out & get a taxi. The hotel should be able to give you a number or call one for you.
Any other "locality" questions? Any other AZ residents feel like weighing in?
