What is the weather like in Peoria, Arizona in Winter?

Question

I would like to know what it is like in all 4 seasons...Its a tornado area too I believe?

Answer 1

I agree with the climate data but I've never heard of it being a high tornado area. "Peoria-area historical tornado activity is significantly above Arizona state average. It is 77% smaller than the overall U.S. average."

Above state average doesn't mean much when state average is 00.

http://www.city-data.com/city/Peoria-Ari...

says "On 9/14/1971, a category 2 (max. wind speeds 113-157 mph) tornado 13.9 miles away from the Peoria city center caused between $5000 and $50,000 in damages.

On 10/3/1968, a category 2 tornado 14.5 miles away from the city center injured 3 people and caused between $50,000 and $500,000 in damages."

I don't know if two tornadoes over 30 years ago is significant, I suppose that's a matter of opinion. And I can't swear by the accuracy of the information, all I can do is read  the data.. we've only lived  in AZ for around three years and I do know that there has not been a tornado significant enough to make the news in this three years. We live 100 miles north of Peoria and the weather is completly different here than down south so I can't speak from personal exprience. We worry about monsoon season here.

Answer 2

Winter: Highs in the 60's and 70's. Lows in the 40's and 50's. Highest chance of precipitation is present during winter.

Spring: Highs range from 70's upwards to 100's. Lows range from 50's to 70's. There is a very small amount of precipitation during this season.

Summer: Highs are all above 100. Lows are all above 70.

Fall: Highs range from lower 100's to upper 60's.

Tornadoes are possible during winter. Any other time of year is unlikely.
