Tucson's seasons, indoors

Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. Tucson's warmest month is June, at an average high of 101.2°F, and its coldest nights come in December, at an average low of 40.5°F.

Highs stay at 80°F or more from April to October: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.

Catalina Foothills, 11 miles away, has much the same number of days a year at 90°F or more (165).

Bedrooms on hot summer evenings

With 158 days a year at 90°F or more, close the louvers on sunny afternoons so the bedroom isn't holding the day's heat at night, then tilt them open for air once the sun is off the glass.

Street-facing rooms

52% of homes are detached houses, where front rooms face the street. Tier-on-tier panels let you close the lower half for privacy and open the top for daylight.

Children’s rooms

Shutters have no cords. In Canada, corded window coverings have been regulated since May 1, 2021, and in the US the Consumer Product Safety Commission tells families to choose cordless window coverings.
