This page hosts recent and past climate update reports focused on the Prescott National Forest (PNF) in Arizona. These reports detail recent climate and drought conditions across the Prescott NF using various data sources including interpolated temperature and precipitation data (PRISM Climate), weather station observations (RCC-ACIS), and vegetation condition estimates from remote sensing products (RPMS). Data are accessed from these various sources and then summarized into a series of maps and tables that update automatically to produce current season reports the first week of each month and then again for the entire previous water year in early October. Past reports are posted below in printable PDF format and as an interactive HTML page.
You can sign up to the Prescott NF Climate Update listserv to get monthly updates through the following steps:
Send an email to list@list.arizona.edu with the following elements in the subject line… “Subscribe prescott_nf_climate_reports FirstName LastName” (Replace FirstName and LastName with your own name).
OR email Mike Crimmins to have your email address added to the listserv.
(Reports are listed in reverse order with most recent listed first; printable reports are in PDF, html reports contain interactive maps and figures)
