When to fly to Mesa

Mesa is generally warm and dry all year round but mid-summer can be very hot, making it very uncomfortable to be outdoors. The hottest months are July and August and most people are active early in the morning to avoid the heat. The coldest months are December and January but the weather is very good and many people choose this as a time to visit so the Christmas period is very busy. August is the wettest month, while April to June are quite dry. A visit from November to April is likely to be the most enjoyable.

Many people avoid the area during the hot months of July and August when it can be too hot for adventure activities, sports or comfortable hiking. Despite being summer, the area can be quieter during this time, so some agents and hotels may offer special deals for travellers around this time. Avoid the Christmas season as this is a peak time and rates will be higher and crowds plentiful.
