I used to be in Phoenix. We moved last year to North Carolina. I have weathers! 
LOL I do still miss Phoenix though. Although, the weather here this week makes me miss it a lot less (high of 79 today and remaining that way all week).
You might be able to use something like https://www.amazon.com/Aeotec-Multisensor-temperature-humidity-vibration/dp/B0151Z8ZQY to determine actual light levels. I’m not sure about “light color” though.
This is what I am using for lux: [Release] Weather Station Tile 2.0
It’s pretty much the only thing I found so far (beyond an actual weather station and/or light sensor) that gives a lux reading.
