The Most Popular Season In Arizona Isn’t What You’d Expect

Fall is right around the corner, and as someone who grew up in Appalachia, it's without a doubt my favorite season. The colors, crisp air, and pumpkin themed deserts mix together to create my favorite atmosphere year in and year out.

The Most Popular Season in Arizona

Recently, Brecks compiled a list of the favorite season of every U.S. state. The data was gathered from Google search trends over the past four years, as well as a survey of 1,000 Americans. The responses were as expected, with many southern states preferring the vibrant colors of Autumn, while the northeast can't seem to wait for the summer months.

Arizona had a bit of a surprise. While I expected Fall or Winter, as they provide a break from the oppressive heat, that was not the case. Arizona, along with every other southwest state, chose spring as their favorite season. In fact, only 10 states across America chose differently.

Why Does Arizona Prefer Springtime?

Arizona picking one of the warmer months was a shocker, but lets look at it realistically. While yes, springtime does mean warmer weather, it's the nice warmth. Especially after a long winter, the first day you can feel the sun on your face seems like heaven itself is giving you a hug.

Things get a lot greener as well, the winter months can make the state look like varying shades of brown, but once the sun comes out, everything begins to bloom again, bringing some joy all across the state.

While this is a well researched survey, it doesn't encapsulate every Arizonan's feelings, so I ask, what's your favorite season in Arizona?
