Local know-how pays off in Tempe
Tempe sits in the Sonoran Desert, where July average highs run near 106°F and summer afternoons routinely top 105°F. Rainfall totals only about 9 inches a year, most of it during the July to September monsoon. Walkers move dog outings to early morning and after sunset in summer and check pavement temperature before heading out.
When demand peaks
Arizona State University, with roughly 55,000 students on its Tempe campus, drives steady demand that spikes around move-in, finals, and semester breaks when owners travel. Winter brings snowbirds and Cactus League spring training crowds through Tempe Diablo Stadium, lifting boarding and drop-in bookings. Summer travel out of the heat pushes daycare and boarding in June through August.
