Have a great time and enjoy, Bill|||Its hot! But through time you can get used to it. I moved to the Virginia mountains were is freezing cold practicly all the time! I adjusted fast. I'm sure you will too!|||Each part of Arizona ( North, middle, and South) is really different. The middle and south sections are mostly desert with amazing mountains and mesas. The south also has some incredible caves. The north is at a much higher elevation and includes a great deal of forest. You can also experience all 4 seasons there as it does snow each winter. There is great skiing, camping, and hiking. Arizona also contains the gorgeous area around Sedona as well as the South rim of the Grand Canyon! There are also beautiful lakes throughout the entire state.|||hot|||don't let people tell you how Arizona is if they are google-ing it.. it's not the same as living there... I live in Arizona. Let me tell you that everything depends on what part of Arizona you are moving into... south , center or north The weather is very very hot on summer (over 100 degrees) and very very cold in winter (enough to snow). There are beautiful places where you can go camping, skiing, hiking or sightseeing, landscapes are incredible (better than postals) and the people is really friendly and nice, except for Green Valley city (it's for 65+ year old people, not that they aren't friendly, they just never go out). As for economy and work..they are good, not excellent, but very good.. At the north part of Arizona, there is this city.. Sedona.. which is for rich people, great spas. great stores (shopping). You probably don't want to come and live over here because you don't know how it is, but give it a chance.. besides the crazy weather, you will enjoy everything ;)|||At 8 pm yesterday in yuma it was like 97 degrees... my cousin is stationed there for the marines... I think it usually gets into the 100s but is just dry heat not humid like michigan(where i live ...ugh I hate humidity!)|||Hot, dry/arid climate. Mostly rocky, very little vegatation. Beautiful vistas of rocky cliffs, plateaus and mesas.|||well you got the good the bad and the ugly over here like everywhere else, good luck, sabie
