Winters are long: the Prescott Love Fld station averages 113 nights a year at or below 32°F and 19 at or below 20°F.^2,3 Long winters put freeze-thaw, ice dams and snow load at the center of roofing and masonry decisions. Summers run hot, with about 50 days a year at 90°F or more and 2 at 100°F.^2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies.

Annual precipitation is low, about 13 inches.^2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Heating dominates the year: about 4,056 heating degree days against 1,068 cooling degree days (base 65°F).^2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope.
