Odd Phoenix weather
The temperature right now is around 70 degrees. On Sunday we have our first 100 degree day, and on Monday we hit a record 110. Then yesterday we had a near record low. The record was 48 and we hovering around 50. This came with unseasonable rain. Basically we had a winter storm in the middle of May, which is unheard of here. Record lows and highs in 3 days time, no wonder I'm freezing.
This came after a very cool spring, we've been in the 80's for months, and that in itself is unusual. We're known for going straight from winter to summer, with perhaps a week of Spring.
Here's an article about the drastic change. I'm sure you can find a lot more if you look around some.
