The Perfect Way To Pack When Heading To The Desert
Phoenix, Arizona is a gorgeous attractive paradise whatever time of year, but especially during the fall. From the mountains and valleys to the lakes and the desert, this Arizona city has countless places to see!
However, since this is a desert metropolis, the temperature ranges drastically from day to night. Generally averaging a twenty five degree fluctuation in temperature, it truly is critical to pack the right gear to maximize your comfort while staying in Phoenix. The name of the game is: layer up!
The very first advice is always to pack more shirts then shorts, since shirts are usually more difficult to use again. Pack a bunch of unique combos of long-sleeve and short-sleeve shirts that can go with the few shorts you plan to bring. As far as jackets go, try and avoid the unnecessarily heavy and bulky variety that don’t travel well plus steal suitcase space. Also, think ahead and decide how you will carry your extra layers along with you while you’re out traveling and site-seeing. For some a backpack will be enough, but depending on how many you are traveling with, a tote bag may come in handy! Some sort of bag will come in handy even if everyone decides to tie their long-sleeves and jackets around their waists since you need to bear in mind where the camera, video camera, keys, water bottles, etc . . . can be stored in while not in use.
Though averaging 99 degrees in the daytime and 72 degrees after sundown, September is the easiest month to pack for in Phoenix. 99 degree temperature could appear extreme to people who have experienced Florida climate, or even Gulf Coast states’ weather conditions, but it’s a dry heat. The moisture in the southern and gulf states amplifies the heat, but is not the case in Arizona.
The best gear to pack for a September or other fall visit to Phoenix are plenty of shorts, flip-flops (sturdier ones for hiking), hats, polarized sunglasses, as well as cotton clothes (allows for venting and doesn’t get too hot). Most importantly however, is an effective water-based sunscreen that’s a minimum of SPF 30!
Nothing trumps a September evening in Phoenix! With the temperature in the low 70′s, a long sleeve shirt and lightweight pants are more than adequate to feel comfortable. Should you be among the one’s who feel cold in the 60′s, you may want to toss on a light jacket. Collared shirts are excellent for men. Phoenix has only experienced 47 degrees once in the month of September, so odds are if you go along with these tips, you will be covered!
For all those who prefer it a bit cooler to whip out there sports coats and long sleeve garments, October averages a dry high of 88 degrees and cool low of 61 degrees at night. The lows have been known to fall into the 50′s once in a while thus the light coats will come in handy for all those used to warmer weather. On the bright side, your coat will be able to double as a pillow on the airplane plus the vehicle so it will not ever be useless space!
During November, temperatures drop an additional average of ten degrees to a high of 75 and a low slightly north of snowing; the day provides for cozy full length attire and pants that should be worn although the night calls for the wonderful fireplace gathering weather.
Great for mobility and aeration, outfitter vests are incalculable for many outdoor adventures as well as sports in the cold to help safeguard your upper body as well as keep you warmer. Knit caps may also be a life-saver for those who want to keep their ears and head warm. Cowboy boots will even impress locals and can be fashionable while keeping your feet nice and warm upon going out for an evening on the town or to one of the various popular Phoenix dining establishments! When you are in the area of Phoenix, keep in mind that there definitely are countless alternatives for lodging accommodations, including hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts and even beautiful resorts, obtainable from Bluegreen online.
