The general rule is 3 degrees per 1,000 feet of elevation change.


I think the Original Poster had it right. The surrounding cliffs probably make it somewhat harder to dissipate the daytime heat. It is not city heat island. Just hot air not slipping away as fast as in higher open country. And the rocks might retain more heat and add surface area.


Probably that and wind patterns. Average wind in winter is 1/3rd higher in Prescott, making air movement quicker.

Nighttime are increasing throughout the US, and they are getting warmer faster than the daytime highs. Just research 'nighttime low temperatures increasing,' and you'll get multiple sources and studies.
