When is the best time to visit Scottsdale?

Like its neighbour Phoenix, Scottsdale is fortunate to have almost year round sunshine.

During these months the weather is warm and sunny with pleasantly cool nights. Expect daytime highs in the mid-20s. Early spring is also festival season, so you won’t miss out on any exciting events. Winter in Scottsdale is mild, and skies tend to stay blue. December through to February temperatures range from about 18-20°C during the day and drop to single digits at night.
