Heat is the governing season: about 137 days a year reach 90°F and 78 reach 100°F.^2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies. The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 4 inches.^2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.

Measurable snow is rare (about 0.2 inches a year).^2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 3,720 cooling degree days against 1,836 heating degree days (base 65°F).^2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates.
