Best Weather App for Sedona
Sedona weather can change by neighborhood, season, and time of day. A useful weather app needs more than a daily high: it should explain what is happening nearby, what could change next, and what you should do about it.
Local App Answer

- Summer heat on exposed, shadeless trail sections

Local Weather Context for Sedona
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.
