Weather

With 350+ days of sunshine a year, Tucson is one of the sunniest cities in the United States! And the summer months include our beloved monsoon season – when much needed moisture from the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico delivers thunderstorms and dazzling lightning displays.

Please prepare yourself for varied weather that may include hot daytime temperatures and heavy afternoon rain. Stay well-hydrated, wear sunscreen and hats, and carry an umbrella.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is responsible and involved in providing security for the Games?

The host community works closely with a wide variety of local, state and federal agencies to determine the security needs for the Games.

What are credentials and why are they needed?

Credentials are a visible identification badge for anyone participating in any aspect of the Games. These credentials allow the security team to determine access and help keep our venues secure. They must be worn at all times, no exceptions. If credentials are lost, replacement credentials are available at Maccabi Central.

Spectators are also required to obtain a spectator pass which permits entry into Games venues and opening ceremonies only.

Will there be security at all venues?

Yes. Events will be held at several sites in the Tucson area. Security personnel will ensure participants get to venues and events in a timely and safe manner.
