tucson: Everyone I talk to says the weather is really hot for the majority of the year without much of a winter. I live in Sacramento, California and the weather is pretty great here. How different would you say the weather in Tucson is compared to Sacramento?|||Tucson is in the desert. Generally, the weather in the desert is best described as "Hot, hotter and hottest, with torrential rains during the monsoon season". (That's hot in the winter and going up from there.) But those are daytime temperatures. At night, due to the high altitude and little cloud cover, temperatures can go from the 90's and 100's during the day to near freezing at night. And that white stuff that falls from the sky up North - sNOw - can happen rarely, but you don't need a shovel, just a broom will get it off the walk, but don't orry, it will all be melted by noon. (And nobody there knows how to dreive in the stuff!) Don't ask about the wildlife, (including 2-legged and 4-legged coyotes), the amount of illegal drugs that go through there, the number of Mexicans who don't have green cards and other problems... 'cause I ain't talking. LOL|||Your city is very wet and mild in the winter and warm and dry in the summer, and Tucson is generally warmer than Sacramento overall, with warmer and drier winters and hotter and wetter summers.
