What October feels like

Tucson Meet Yourself downtown is the unofficial start of the good season, and it is a food festival first and a folk festival second. Mornings turn cool enough that the line for the Sabino Canyon shuttle forms early.

Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. about 13 afternoons top 90°.
