What is each month like in Prescott Valley?
NOAA's grid estimates the normals every 5 km or so from the stations around each point, terrain included. It smooths between stations, so night lows at the heart of a large city can run warmer than the grid shows: at five big-city airports we compared, the grid's highs were within about 1°F of the station and its lows 1-6°F cooler. The nearest record's high and low are beside each month.

How much snow, how late a frost, what zone and how much sun in Prescott Valley?
NOAA's grid gives no snow, frost dates or records, so these come from the nearest station record, Prescott (7 miles NW, 5,042 ft).

The last spring frost (32°F) comes after April 20 in half of years and the first autumn frost before October 27. Its record high is 105°F (2016) and its record low −9°F (1990) (kept since 1948).
