tucson is colder than phoenix... I can t stand anything below about 70 so I wear sneakers or boots, long pants (which I wear all year long) and a jacket or two dependent on the time of day. The last few days have been nice with highs around 68 however, just a week or so ago, is was hitting 30-38 degrees in the morning and not going above about 48-50 degrees all day.Some people do wear shorts and flip flops, its really about how much cold you can take. If I were you, I would pack both because you are from michigan and therefore can stand the colder weather better than people like me who would likely freeze all the way through within about 5 minutes of landing. (But i would pack a little more in the way of lighter items considering how cold it gets in michigan compaired to arizona.)If your going to tuscon, remember it is a bit more chilly up there than phoenix is.But let me put it to you this way, I had a formal event to attend to today and was in a tank top, thin, knee length dress and heels with string sized straps, no jacket and was only slightly chilled, but not cold.
jeans, long pants, and layers of clothes. I doubt that you ll want to wear shorts - it has nothing to do with being out of season, it has to do with being cold. If you are comfortable wearing shorts in the winter out here then do it. No one really cares. They ll just know you re a tourist from the East!
NO shorts. moved here from Illinois a year ago. think us midwesterners are used to it being cold in winter, so natural reaction is 50-60degrees is warm. it is nice, but not nice enough for shorts. go with the long pants. short sleeve shirts are doable during the day. but, you will definitely need a jacket/sweatshirt when the sun goes down early morning. have fun in AZ happy holidays!
In the winter, the high is usually around 62-63, and the low about 40, but it can dip quite a bit. we ve had days at 54 and nights at 31. Yes, you should probably bring pants and a hoodie, or jacket, whatever floats your boat..
I m from Michigan too.Just don t bring any summer clothes..It s pretty chilly out at night and its nice during the day.Bring long sleeves..sweaters..jeans of course and a think jacket or coat.
They wear long johns gloves and puffy hats!!!!! I
