Much like the rest of the southwest, the climate in Penasco
is characterized by average temps in the 50-100 degree range, depending on season,
and is marked by seasonal storms and high-weather seasons.
The Sonoran region in general - being a desert situated next to an ocean/source of humidity, yet pockmarked with
areas of high elevation change - is characterized by temperature swings that can make the nights
unseasonably cold compared to the day's blistering heat.
From January to May - 'Spring' - you can expect an average of 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit.
From May to August - 'Summer' - you can expect 80 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Summer days can be uncomfortably
hot as the humid air and heat combine into a sweltering climate.
From August to Dec - 'Fall/Winter' - you can expect 60-75 an average degrees Fahrenheit, with rain more likely during this
stretch of the year.
The Sonoran region's summer rains are typically short and heavy - 'monsoons' that can wash out desert roads and uproot trees.
Winter rains tend to be longer, lighter, more widespread and less dangerous.
