What to wear... what to wear...

Why is that? It's not like it's apt to be terribly hot in Arizona in April. If the wedding is indoors, everything will be air conditioned. Outdoors it will be mild during the day and chilly at night. Seems like perfectly good wool kilt weather to me.

Hi, native Phoenician here, & yes it can sometimes be fairly hot in April. Normally, the high temperature in Phoenix in April will be in the mid-80s with low humidity, HOWEVER, it's not unusual to have a heatwave in April with temps of 100-degrees or so. In fact, the record high temp in April for Phoenix is 105-degrees (in 1989 & 1992). And on average there's 10 days in April with the high temp of 90-degrees or more. So, your perception of Phoenix as HOT is well-founded, Nighthawk. After all, this is a desert metropolis with a self-inflicted heat-island effect that is many years into a long-term drought. In other words, it's frequently been hotter & drier the last few years than the norm.

Here's a link to the National Weather Service web page for Phoenix -

My advice is to check this page the day before you leave for Phoenix to see what the weather should be like.

Let us know when you plan to be in town. We've got a sizable contingent of the Rabble here & we'll do our best to give you a warm welcome (of course, it's always a "warm" welcome in Phoenix. )

As for the tartan, go ahead & wear it would be my advice.
