Traveller notes on Scottsdale in April
Other months in Scottsdale
March in Scottsdale means spring training, and the forum's practical points are mostly about that: it is the busiest stretch of the year in the Phoenix area, hotel rates rise accordingly, and booking early matters. On weather, regulars put March roughly level with November — highs around 24°C, nights near 9 — and warn that mornings and evenings are genuinely cold: socks, a sweater, long trousers and often a jacket, though not a heavy coat. Rain is rare, under four days. If the baseball is the point, Scottsdale Stadium sits in Old Town with a trolley loop serving it.
Scottsdale's forum calls February the height of the season, generally in the high 60s to 70s°F by day, though cold snaps into the 50s do happen. Regulars are consistent that nights get genuinely chilly enough for long pants and a light sweater even when the day was shorts weather, and that a cold, rainy stretch can still turn up despite the region's reputation for reliable winter sun.
