What March feels like
The citrus trees bloom and the whole city smells like orange blossom for about two weeks — locals stop mid-sentence to point it out. Spring training runs all month and Scottsdale is packed; the desert wildflowers out along the Apache Trail tend to peak around now too.
Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
