Seasonal Patterns

Sedona has a mild semi-arid climate at 4,350 feet, cooler than the low desert but far warmer than the high country above the Mogollon Rim. At the Sedona station, the 1991-2020 reference averages range from a daily high of 58°F (14°C) in Dec to 97°F (36°C) in Jul. Monthly precipitation averages sum to 17.1 inches (435 mm) per year.

Spring and fall are Sedona's showcase seasons, with warm days, cool nights, and long stretches of sunshine. Summer brings hot, exposed afternoons on the trails and, from July into September, monsoon thunderstorms that can flood normally dry washes and Oak Creek within minutes. Winters are mild with periodic rain, and a few storms each year dust the red rocks with snow. Conditions shift quickly with elevation, since the rim country sits thousands of feet above town.

Did You Know?

Sedona sits in a dramatic climate transition zone: the 27-mile drive up Oak Creek Canyon to Flagstaff climbs nearly 2,700 feet, going from a town that sees only a few snowfalls a year to one of the snowiest cities in the United States.
