Lake Havasu Weather

Although I was only here once – for just 48 hours - while passing through, Lake Havasu, Arizona is one of the strangest places I’ve ever been; a hot desert climate, with all the typical climate conditions one would expect in a lowland desert; At least 8 months of the year daily highs are above 80 F (and often over 100 F)…winters are quite mild with high temps in the 60’s and 70’s F (although many times each winter daily highs will crack 80 F) and no snow or frost. Although palms and citrus thrive in Lake Havusa - much of the year is truly arid, with only 3 inches of rain a year (although sometimes the summer monsoon might drop triple that amount in a year). Given the subtropical latitude, arid climate, and nearly non-stop high pressure, sunshine hrs are quite high (around 3300 annually I think). Cold weather fans will truly hate Lake Havasu I’m sure.
Yet, in the middle of this bone dry desert climate…is strangely a LAKE! The area has become a major winter resort in the USA, and BOATING is actually the biggest draw (lol). Homes in Lake Havasu, while modern and new, have little green around them. Although I prefer a greener tropical type climate with a wet/dry season (think Aw Miami, Rio…ect)…
