Heading to Arizona? Arizona, USA, sits at 33.4°N in a subtropical climate zone. The averages on this page are measured at Phoenix, the main gateway for CA travellers; inland and mountain areas run cooler. Before you lock in outdoor plans, compare how the three global models - European (ECMWF), American (GFS) and German (ICON) - forecast Arizona right now. Where they agree you can trust it; the days they split are exactly when a single weather app is least reliable. For a city break, the rain hours below tell you which days to plan indoors.

Common questions

When is the best time to visit Arizona?
The most comfortable time to visit Arizona is usually February, March, November and December, when daytime highs sit in the pleasant 16-26°C range and the heaviest January rain is behind you.
Will it rain in Arizona during my trip?
Rain is where forecasts disagree most. Instead of trusting one app, the comparison above lines up the European, American and German models for Arizona - check your dates and look for the days they agree; those are the ones you can plan around.
Which forecast is most accurate for Arizona?
For destinations abroad we compare the three global models (ECMWF, GFS and ICON) that nearly every weather app quietly builds on. No single app tells you when they disagree - we do, so you can judge the confidence yourself.
