Weather
Scottsdale tends to be pleasantly warm and sunny all year round, but there are exceptions to this rule. Depending on when you plan to come, it can be scorching hot or pleasantly cool, and of course your perception will vary depending on where you are from.
A good guide for weather year-round is USA Today's Phoenix Weather Almanac, which lists average high and low, historic high and low, dew point and precipitation for each month of the year in the greater Valley area.
