But it was 25F on the morning a couple days before the summer
solstice? Doesn't leave you much of an observing window!
In the autumn post-monsoon season, roughly after mid-September,
the daytime temps stay fairly warm while nighttime lows drift steadily
downward. Mean date of the first frost in Flagstaff is in the first
week of October. Then about mid-October things really start getting
cold day and night. Usually no significant snow until Thanksgiving,
likewise more cloudy statistically after mid-November.
