It's not the temperature, it's the moisture. Where I live it's constantly
wet, so if it's 40 and raining during the day, then drops to 28 over night
the water freezes in the concrete, stucco, etc and cracks it. You have to
have the combination of rain followed by below freezing temps.

Actually, Phoenix (and southern Arizona in general, including Tucson) is
notorious for rapid temperature changes, especially in winter, and for
extreme temperature differences between winter (below freezing) and summer
(temperatures in the 100s and sometimes 110s Fahrenheit). I don't know what
that does to brick--most houses around here are stucco though some older
houses from the 1950s and 1960s are brick--but it wreaks havoc on pavement.
