Although Phoenix, Arizona may not have the most ideal climate of all the cities in the United States, many people choose every year to call this city their home. Phoenix, being the capital of Arizona, is the most highly-populated city in Arizona, and the sixth most populous city in the country. In 2005, there were more than 1.4 million people residing in Phoenix.
Of all the things that Phoenix is known for, it is perhaps most well-known for its weather. On an average of almost ninety days during the year, the city gets temperatures of at least 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Phoenix also averages less than nine inches of annual rainfall and barely ever gets snow. The last time snow fell in Phoenix was December of 1990; the snowfall was only 0.4 inches. Winter months in Phoenix are typically sunny, and there are only five days on average throughout the year where the city experiences freezing or below-freezing temperatures.
As far as entertainment goes, Phoenix is a hotspot. Many popular movies have been filmed in Phoenix, including Psycho, Raising Arizona, and Jerry Maguire. Phoenix is the home to professional sports teams from the four major sports leagues: the Arizona Cardinals of the NFL, the Arizona Diamondbacks of the MLB, the Phoenix Coyotes of the NHL, and the Phoenix Suns of the NBA. NASCAR also makes two yearly stops at the Phoenix International Raceway to attract thousands of fans to its races.
