Phoenix for the year as a whole, Flagstaff is better in summer, but too cold from October to April

Phoenix. Precipitation isn't worth the nearly nonexistent growing season.

Phoenix
The comfortable season is actually longer, and let's see, it doesn't get freezes in crummer or snow as late as May...

Flagstaff. Excellent climate close to some not so excellent climates, like Phoenix.

Phoenix. Precipitation isn't worth the nearly nonexistent growing season. Phoenix is too dry for almost anything to grow even with a long growing season by temperature , the short growing season of Flagstaff is enough for conifer forest and some grasses and shrub |

Flagstaff isn't great, worst kind of western mountain vegetation imo. typical pine without much understory found in relatively dry (for a forested climate) and short growing season goo.gl/maps/UJ7C3GcX6iQEw2g86Mammoth Lakes, slightly cooler and wetter appears to support taller and denser pine but has the same dry look. Far less precipitation in the growing season but the snowmelt means the ground is fairly saturated for the first half of the growing season goo.gl/maps/CwFdcSqT7HwqChbg7mile out of town it's sagebrush/grassland goo.gl/maps/VcRusCaLDrL47eVJ9 |

The sagebrush/grassland vegetation in the last link looks nice too though. |

They’re both pretty shit, but Phoenix wins for at least not having crazy snow and extreme cold.

Actually considering how vile shit the climate of Flagstaff is, the decent vegetation is impressive. |

Even Phoenix has plenty of native desert vegetation, which I find a lot more interesting and diverse than a monoculture of ponderosa pine. |

It's the cold I can't do.... not sayin' +43c temps are a great deal of fun per se, but yeah ya do just put up with it, live in it, work in it, drink copious quantities of Nectar of Gods ( beer ) in it etc etc....
Very few Aussies actually live in places of extreme heat or cold, but I think we do 'extreme heat' better than being very cold. I've said it many times previously.... I can't imagine why people willingly live in a Phoenix type climate... in AU it is only the hardy miners, station ( ranchers ) folk, blackfellas, construction people, substance ( booze mostly ) abusers, loners, derros and those escaping broken marriages and those running from the Law who willing seek to live in the remote extreme heat prone Outback....
