Page Arizona Weather By Season

Spring — March Through May

Spring brings rapidly warming days, cool nights and generally dry conditions. March can still feel chilly, while May frequently reaches the 80s. Wind can be strong during spring, particularly on exposed overlooks and open water.

Summer — June Through August

Summer is hot and very dry early in the season, with average daytime highs in the 90s. July and August also bring an increased chance of thunderstorms, sudden wind, lightning and flash flooding. Shade is limited around many Page-area attractions.

Fall — September Through November

Fall temperatures cool steadily from warm September afternoons to chilly November nights. September and October are especially comfortable for hiking, sightseeing, boating and other outdoor recreation.

Winter — December Through February

Winter days are usually cool, while nighttime temperatures frequently fall to freezing or below. Snow is possible in Page and around Glen Canyon, although significant accumulation in town is relatively uncommon.

Rain, Monsoon Storms & Winter Snow

Page receives relatively little precipitation during a typical year, but rainfall can be intense when thunderstorms develop. Summer monsoon storms can produce lightning, strong winds, localized heavy rain and dangerous flash flooding in slot canyons, washes and other confined terrain.

Visitors planning trips to Antelope Canyon, other slot canyons, Lake Powell or exposed desert trails should check the current forecast immediately before departing. Winter storms occasionally bring snow and icy conditions to Page and surrounding highways.

Best Time To Visit Page Arizona

Spring and fall generally provide the most comfortable weather for sightseeing and hiking. April, May, September and October combine warm daytime temperatures with cooler nights and avoid much of the peak summer heat.

Summer is popular for Lake Powell boating and swimming, but daytime heat can be intense and monsoon thunderstorms require careful weather monitoring.

Winter offers lighter crowds and crisp desert scenery, but visitors should be prepared for freezing nights, occasional snow and cold conditions on the water.
