Down here in the desert, September 17th is a somewhat important day in Tucson...it is the average date of the last 100 degree day of the year. Right now, no more are in sight. We could get another, but the odds are going down and we wont' get weeks at a time of them.
The saying here is that our first 100 degree day in the spring is when the "Ice breaks on the Santa Cruz River". Yep, here ice doesn't break until 100 degrees is hit.
So here we go for the nice fall weather, hikes in the national park, and road racing season picks up.
Enjoy the fall!

I love fall. The only problem is that I know what comes after it.
See, fall here is like your summer and our winter is like your fall!
And your summer is like my hell. :)
The fall is my favorite time of year. I love the cool, crisp air and throwing on a jacket to stay warm, only to peel it off when the sun hits you....
I couldn't take the heat out by you hale. More and more though, I find facing winter to be a bigger challenge each year. I don't mind a little snow... but 6 months of it is just getting to be too much.
During the summer, I get up and run about 6 in the morning and it isn't too bad. The worst part of the day, I am at work. In Tucson, it does cool down at night. Summer really isn't as bad as you would think...and it is really nice from now until about late May!
Phoenix is another story...usually 7-10 degrees warmer there due to a combination of lower elevation and the heat island effect. I have a hard time dealing with that!
