Planning for Weather in Moab

Moab typically has good weather, but it’s not immune to surprises from Mother Nature. As a general rule, you can expect jacket weather in spring, with temperatures averaging around 60 degrees in March and rising to the 80s by May. Summer is predictably hot, with daytime temperatures hovering around 100 degrees, but accompanied by cooler mornings and evenings. Fall is pleasant and mild, ranging from the 80s in September down to the mid-50s in November. In winter, higher elevations receive snow, creating an incredible contrast against the red cliffs. However, lower elevations generally maintain milder conditions that are still suitable for exploring trails.
