"Wind in Yuma would make it hard to fly my RC Airplanes!"
IMO, Yuma will never compete with the Valley of the Sun for amenities offered, nor can it compete with mis-perceptions...but it can go toe to toe with the recorded environmental statistics with PHX and Casa Grande....but don't believe me, do the research yourself. However, from this website: http://weatherspark.com, I've copied and pasted the following data:
