Weather
The average high and low temperatures in Tucson in late April hover in the mid-80’s and mid-50’s respectively. Especially if you will be here on Sunday and would like to go on the excursion to the Desert Museum, bring a hat and sunscreen. We’re at about 2500 feet elevation and the air is often very clear, meaning that exposed northern European skin like mine can toast in 20 minutes.
