Sedona, AZ: average weather by month
NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals at the SEDONA station, read through NOAA's Regional Climate Centers' ACIS service. Every column below is the station's own average for that month over that 30-year period — not a forecast. The rainfall figures are NOAA's precipitation normal, so they count rain plus melted snow (and any other frozen precipitation, as water), not rain alone.

The SEDONA station has no 1991–2020 snowfall normal in ACIS (every month comes back as M), so there is no snowfall column here.

Months within our comfort range
We set one fixed, objective threshold ourselves — average high between 65°F and 80°F, and average rainfall under 2 in — and check each of the twelve rows against it. This is not a claim that any other month is bad, and not our judgment of which month suits any trip; it is just which rows on the table above clear the stated numbers. See how we set this threshold.
March, April, October, November are the months at Sedona that clear both parts of the threshold: March 67.5°F / 1.94 in; April 74.7°F / 0.77 in; October 78.7°F / 1.38 in; November 66.9°F / 1.12 in.

About the station
These normals are read at a single NOAA/NWS station, SEDONA (station ID 027708), not averaged across the whole metro area. A different station nearby — higher ground, closer to water, further inland — can read noticeably different numbers, especially for rain. Run this station's ACIS query yourself.
What this page adds
A search for "sedona weather by month" mostly returns a day-by-day forecast calendar (useful only for the next two weeks) or a local weather office page built for a different question. This page puts all twelve months of the 1991–2020 average on one screen, in both °F/°C and inches/mm, names the exact station behind the numbers, and sets it next to a few nearby cities so the difference is visible at a glance.
