Sedona Weather Summary May 2019

Sedona weather for May 2019 had below average temps and more rain than normal. On one of my previous posts, I talked about the crazy weather we had on May 23rd.....SNOW! See the video below if you missed it. This continues to indicate an El Niño condition.  We had no additional days of 90º. In fact, last year at this time we had 15 days over 90º. This is a welcomed relief. Our average temp was was 1º higher than April at 59º. We also got snow flurries for a 5 minute stretch of time!  Memorial Day was the chilliest on record at 61º!  Normally we are around the high 80ºs or low 90ºs. 

 Days with Sunshine - Are We On Track For 300 Days?

Considering the El Nino season, we had another month at  .85 inches of rain. The rain affected the “Days with Sunshine”. For the year we are at 117 and should be at 125 days at the end of May.  That happened on 6 different days throughout May. There were only 8 days between 80º≤ 90º and 15 days between 70º ≤ 80º.   Another month of perfect weather. The air conditioner has yet to be used this year. No other year have we gone this long without using the AC.

May 2019 - Coolest Since Recording Temps

May was one of the coolest that we have experienced since we have lived in Sedona.  It may very well be in part because of El Niño conditions were still with us in May. Normally there is a weather shift from storms coming from the north shifting to the south creating monsoon conditions in July.  The official monsoon starts on June 15th and goes through the month of September.

Coolest Memorial Day On Record

Last year we already experienced 15 days above 90º.  This year we have had only 1 day in April at 90º. Pretty amazing! On Memorial Day, the temperature was 61º. It was actually too cool to sit outside and enjoy the hamburgers we BBQed. However, we realized that this weather could change on any given day so we have been relishing this cooler than normal weather and feel blessed to have it.

We reached 90 degrees yesterday, and we are continuing in that mode today.  I read that the snow pack in our Sierras is as 208% of average.

As I was reading your comment Ron and Alexandra Seigel, I looked at the temp reading and we just hit our second day of 90º. But the humidity is 15% so you don't even notice it.  I still have not had to put on the AC... I am sure that will change shortly!

Hi Sheri- it was hard to get past that stunning photo to see the weather summary!!! We had a big rain today but it was off and on!! Still hot and I'd imagine our humidity is still hanging around.

What an absolutely amazingly gorgeous photo, Sheri! We have Sedona beat by miles... we've had a bunch of 90+ degree days in Charlotte last month... very unusual for us for the month of May. In fact, one of those days actually set a historic record.

Sheri, 90 is pretty warm already.  We have been in the 80's, and that is hot enough!

Hi Hannah Williams - Ha Ha!  As I write this we just doubled the number of 90º days from two days ago.  We only had 1 day in April and then the temps dropped again until Friday of last week. I hope you do not see any more tornadoes.

Hi Joan Cox - I am headed out to see my son in Palm Springs this weekend and the temps are going to be in the 100ºs and moving up. About the same in Phoenix. We average about 12º - 15º cooler and I am good with that. !!
