Short-lived, late-day thunderstorms, often accompanied by high winds, occur from July thru mid-September (the Monsoon season).
Things start to cool off in October and temperatures are mild from November to April. Scottsdale receives a handful of frost warnings during the winter, but no snow. Temperature inversions over the valley in the winter months can make for some smoggy days.
