Weather Resource

Due to the mountainous environment, sitting at or above 5,000 ft. elevation, Prescott receives a variety of weather. It does snow in the winter and rain during the Monsoon season, so please be vigilant of convective weather (lightning-producing storms) during the summer months. However, with over 275 days of beautiful sunshine, you're sure to count on a blue-bird day during your stay. Click on the link below to see an accurate NOAA Weather report.
