For anyone wanting to escape the cold northern climates, Lake Havasu City represents the opposite extreme. Record low temps of 25-27 degrees F are rare with avg Jan temps around 64 for a high and 44 for a low. The real issue for anyone considering living here is how hot you like it. Havasu is in the Colorado River valley at about 500' elevation and surrounded by desert and low mountains. Summer temps are regularly in the 110-120 range with a record of 128. Washes run through the city to allow for rapid run off of the occasional down pours that can drop 1/2 to 1" in minutes and account for the approx 3 1/2" total precip annually. For me the heat and low humidity are heaven.
