This live camera looks out over Tucson, a desert city in southern Arizona set among mountains and wide basins. It is useful if you want to see the sky, the light and the typical desert conditions before planning a trip or simply checking in on the region.
About Tucson and its setting
Tucson sits at about 729 metres above sea level in the Sonoran Desert, with mountain ranges rising on several sides of the valley. The city is known for its university, its long history as a crossroads of Spanish, Mexican and American influences, and its access to desert landscapes full of saguaro cacti. Its open skies and clear air are a large part of its character.
What to watch and when
The view is most rewarding in the early morning and late afternoon, when low sun brings out the texture of the mountains and the colours of the desert shift. Clear weather is typical for much of the year, and summer afternoons can bring dramatic clouds and occasional monsoon storms. Depending on the view, you may see changing light across the basin rather than dense street activity.
Climate and getting around
Tucson has a hot desert climate, with very hot summers and mild, sunny winters that are the most popular time to visit. Spring and autumn are generally comfortable for outdoor activities. Nearby, the Saguaro Giant Cactus camera, the Wilmot and Tucson cameras, and the Benson camera give further views of the surrounding region.
