Review of St. George, Utah


random sample of ACTUAL July temps
Star Rating - 3/20/2011
I have NEVER been to St George but was curious about temps after reading all the "very hot here" comments. Having lived in midwest and west I know all to well that humidity and elevation can make HUGE affect on how hot it feels. Saint George is a dry climate although not an extreme. The hottest month is July and just for example here are 6 daily highs from throughout month of 2009 (you can get every single day from every year at almanac.com - I just happened to have '09 July handy on a comparison sheet I made) 1st - 93, 6th - 92, 13th - 94, 17th - 101, 21st - 85, 28th - 91. I would gladly take 101 in dry climate over 91 in a humid midwest summer, but personally would prefer less of either. Hope that helps someone.

Jon, I wish those were the temperatures! Those temps were taken at the old airport, I'm guessing, which was high on a windy bluff. (A new one just opened.) The reality is that it is 100+ for most days from (usually) through mid-September. The lows during that time period are never below 83. I'm saying it's still 99 degrees at 10pm. Yes, it's a dry heat, but it's still really, really hot and the lack of humidity (as low as 8%!!) makes it hard to even breathe some days. Come visit. Experience the reality, and you'll see what I'm saying. At least we've been lucky enough to have spring for the last couple of years. Usually we go from cool weather to extremely hot, with one week of nice weather in between.
