Can someone explain this statement to me: "The climate is dry and hot with an average year round high temperature of 84 °F (28.7 °C),[1] but temperatures as high as 122 °F (50°C) are not uncommon in the summer."

Except the chart below this statement says that the record high is 112 °F? How can temps of 122 be common when the record high is 10 degrees lower? This makes no sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.39.88.241 (talk) 15:13, 17 October 2014 (UTC) This may have something to do with how the record high temperature is "determined" for a whole month in the chart, such as in August which has 31 days and nights; (it may be a mean, average or minimum-high). So the "not uncommon" does not mean that the stated high temperature lasts an entire month long, (which could be another interpretation of the chart). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.183.224.2 (talk) 22:50, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ROCKY POINT, MEXICO (CBS5) - Six people, including a police officer, died in gun battles that erupted in Rocky Point last week, according to Sonoran state police. The shootings happened Thursday around 6 p.m. along one of the beach town's main streets.

Puerto Peñasco became an important transit point for the Sinaloa Cartel in about 2007, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration officials said. Occasional shootings have occurred among underworld groups, and the city's police chief was shot and wounded during a traffic stop in 2010.

Arizona's Beach?

The introductory paragraph states that Puerto Peñasco “has been nicknamed "Arizona’s beach" as it is the coast closest to the major cities of Phoenix, Tucson, and Yuma”. I disagree with including Yuma. I have not been able to check the cited references.

I have done my own original research using Google Maps and come up with three closer beaches:

El Golfo Santa Clara, Sonora, 90 miles Mission Bay, San Diego, California, 178 miles San Felipe, Baja California, 179 miles Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, 180 miles

I do agree that Puerto Peñasco is the closest beach to most points in Arizona and most people in Arizona. You can call it Arizona’s beach if you want.
