We spent 4 years, early Jan - late March (snowbirds)in Apache Junction AZ. 3 of those years were perfect for us as tourists. But the natives weren't too happy...weatherwise.
Just about no rain at all...but 70-85 degrees almost every day. The "bad" year, lots of rain, damp,and cold, (cool, really but too cool for the pool, for instance) but we had a great time anyway.
We were told there was a long term drought with little to no relief in sight. If I remember correctly, the local paper told us that one day.  Next day, same paper told of a new housing development going up...each house with it's own pool.
