Fall Weather in Mesa

Desert Landscape Along Hwy 60

Now that we are in Mesa, blog posts will slowdown eventually, but there are still some photos to share, and there are other updates worth posting - besides, we don't want you thinking all we do here is party.

Speaking of parties, today there is a Halloween Dance. Life at VDO is never dull.

A common question is how's the weather? So, we should have something on the blog about weather.

Fall weather (meaning anytime before the end of November), is normally like summer weather at home in Ontario. Days are normally hot, evenings warm, and nights cool - but not cold. The temperature at 6 am today is 60 degrees. This will be a day in the 80s. Just like yesterday, and the day before that. Skies are clear, no rain is forecast. Arizona is in a drought, and has been for a number of years. Rain is a good thing, but it is rare.

What's different about fall weather - you can sit out comfortably in the evenings.

Late in the year, and early winter, days are warm, nights are cool, and sometimes cold. You can sit out after dinner if you have a heater. We have a gas fire pit, and we wouldn't be outside after dark in the winter if we didn't. Daytime heat evaporates quickly after the sun goes down during the winter months.
