May Brings a Taste of Summer to Phoenix

Average temperature low and high: 67° - 94°
May brings a taste of summer to the Phoenix-Scottsdale area with high temperatures reaching the mid-90s under bright, sunny skies--the perfect weather for hitting the links at one of Scottsdale's many courses or relaxing poolside. Want to explore the area's nature trails and stunning desert scenery? Then head out in the morning or early evening (when the weather is cooler), for some hiking at Pinnacle Peak or Lookout Mountain. Whatever the time of day, there's always something happening in Phoenix--from live outdoor music to great food, the city has plenty of fun May events.
