Cascabel, AZ Climate

Climate Insight: Cascabel, AZ

An annual average temperature of 63°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 82°F to a mean daily low of 45°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Cascabel, Arizona. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00021330 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Cascabel scores 83/100 (Excellent), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat at the peak of summer, and December-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
