How extreme does Prescott Valley's weather get?

The hottest, coldest, wettest and snowiest days Prescott Valley has recorded — the outer limits of what its weather can do, and how far they sit beyond a normal day.

Based on 50+ years of daily weather observations (1971–present), from the Prescott Love Fld station 11 km away. Updated through May 2026 — an all-time extreme only changes when a more extreme day actually occurs, so some dates are old. That is normal, not stale data.

Prescott Valley's record heat sits well above even a hot day for the season — June's 105°F is about 17°F beyond a normal hot afternoon. Its record cold is just as far below a normal winter night — the dots mark how rare each extreme really is.

In plain terms

In a normal year, Prescott Valley's warmest days reach the low 90s°F and its coldest nights drop to the mid-20s°F. But across the record it has gone as high as 105°F and as low as −9°F. A single day has delivered over 5 inches of rain or close to 17 inches of snow. Those are the outer edges worth knowing if you are moving here, planning a trip, or thinking about a house.
