Climate Guides

Climate Insight: Roosevelt, AZ

An annual average temperature of 70°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 83°F to a mean daily low of 58°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Roosevelt, Arizona. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00027281 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.

Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Roosevelt receives roughly 15.9 inches of precipitation each year, with negligible snowfall. The frost-free season averages 342 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near January 17 and the first fall freeze near December 25. For energy use, 1,627 heating degree days and 3,559 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Roosevelt scores 90/100 (Excellent), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows, shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for July-driven heat, or deep winter for December-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
