Arizona hurricane record

NOAA's table of continental U.S. hurricane impacts records no hurricane-force winds in Arizona from 1851 through 2025; the season risk for a stored boat is flooding and debris from weakened systems.

Tucson averages 10.6 inches of precipitation a year, wettest in July (2.2 in), before any storm is added.

Hurricane checklist for a boat in Arizona

  1. Decide haul-out versus slip early; marina contracts often set haul-out order.
  2. On land, strap the hull to ground anchors and pull the drain plug.
  3. Strip canvas, biminis, cushions and electronics.
  4. In a slip, double the lines, add chafe gear and leave slack for surge.
  5. Photograph the hull ID and position; keep papers waterproofed.
  6. Get the building wind rating, the FEMA flood zone of the address and the re-entry rules in writing.

Arizona hurricane season boat questions

Do hurricanes reach Arizona?

NOAA's continental U.S. hurricane impact table (1851-2025) records no hurricane-force winds in Arizona. Weakened tropical systems still bring heavy rain, so a boat stored in a low spot or below grade can flood during the June to November season. Tucson averages 10.6 inches of precipitation a year, wettest in July.

Which Arizona boat storage listings are enclosed?

106 of 152 live Arizona listings list enclosed indoor space; 8 list covered and 116 outdoor spaces. By city: Phoenix (26; 18 enclosed), Mesa (25; 10 enclosed), Tucson (21; 8 enclosed) and Gilbert (16; 16 enclosed). The most enclosed listings are in Phoenix (18) and Gilbert (16). None lists climate-controlled units. Listings span 21 cities. Prefer a wind-rated building outside the flood zone.

What should I do with my boat when a hurricane watch is issued in Arizona?

Move it at once. 106 Arizona listings list enclosed space; book one before June. Phoenix has 12 months in the water by our rule. NOAA records no hurricane-force winds in Arizona, so the realistic threat to a boat is a remnant storm's rain. Tucson averages 2.2 inches in July, so check the site drains.

Which Arizona cities have the most boat storage listings?

Listings span 21 Arizona cities. The largest groups are Phoenix (26 listed), Mesa (25 listed), Tucson (21 listed), Gilbert (16 listed) and Scottsdale (11 listed). For covered spaces, Lake Havasu City (5) and Peoria (2) lead. Statewide, 116 list open lots, 8 covered parking and 106 enclosed space, so a boat owner can usually choose between shelter levels in the same city.
