Air quality is generally good. During the very hot months (May - August), the sandstorms and humidity can irritate allergies and respiratory issues. Staying hydrated is very important, too. - Jun 2016


In the winter it's glorious. In the summer it's hot (up to 120F or more), dusty, and humid. But it could be snow so I'm happy. Don't come here if you don't like warm/hot weather. - Aug 2015
