Frequently asked questions about Moab weather
Does Moab get snow?
Yes, but snow is infrequent and light. Moab averages about 20 centimetres of snowfall per year, typically in December through February. Snow rarely lingers more than a day or two because of the region’s low humidity and abundant sunshine.
How hot does Moab get in summer?
July and August often see highs of 36–40°C, with occasional heat waves pushing past 42°C. The dry air makes the heat feel less oppressive than in humid areas, but you should still plan outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon.
What is the humidity like in Moab?
Very low. Relative humidity typically ranges from 10% to 25% during afternoon hours. This dryness accelerates evaporation, so you’ll need to drink plenty of water even when you don’t feel sweaty. It also means temperature drops quickly after sunset.
