Aguila's normals sit in a dry climate class: BWh
Annual precipitation falls well below the aridity threshold for this temperature regime, so the normals classify as hot desert (BWh). Class BWh is the Peel et al. (2007) label for this station's monthly mean temperature and precipitation normals: dry (arid or semi-arid), specifically hot desert.

The year, day by day
The year in Aguila runs from a mild 33°F around December 13 to 101°F at the peak near July 13, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from May 21 through September 29, covering 132 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 8 to November 20.
This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 33°F around December 13.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is August 18, when 11% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is May 31 at 1%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 21 wet dates a year.
The widest day
June 5 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 37°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Aguila Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 132 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
Aridity defines the water calendar: about 7 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.
Aguila earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Aguila's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 39% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 27%. That is the cool-season-dominant pattern of the West Coast and the higher inland West, where storm tracks swing south in winter and summer turns dry; the thermometer meanwhile shows a 38.5°F seasonal spread.

- February, 1.4"
- Driest month
- May, 0.1"

- February, July, January (45% of the year)
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A cool-season label means the December-February share reaches 35%. Where snow falls, the monthly figures above report liquid-equivalent precipitation, so a wet winter month is not necessarily a rainy one.
When it rains in Aguila, it arrives in quantity
7.1" of precipitation falls across only about 20 wet days here, averaging 0.35 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 20 a year, 6% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.35 inches
- Most wet days
- August, about 4
- Fewest wet days
- April, about 0
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, and a per-day average is not a forecast of any individual storm.
Aguila's record shows no measurable snowfall
This station measured snowfall across the 1991-2020 period and recorded none: the annual normal is 0.0 inches. That is a measured zero rather than missing data, which is a meaningful distinction here , most stations in the database simply do not report snow at all, and those pages say nothing about it.
A thirty-year normal of zero describes the typical year at this station. It is not a claim that snow has never fallen in the area.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Aguila's limited precipitation lands
mixed demand · dry · mid swing
Local precipitation is sparse in this otherwise mixed profile. The station reports 7.1 inches annually, within PlainClimate's dry band. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. The monthly distribution matters because the total alone does not reveal the timing.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Aguila's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 38.5°F. The annual average is 66°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Aguila's normal, at 2,215 and 2,521 degree days respectively. Neither total exceeds the other by more than two to one, so the record is better read as a mixed-demand calendar than as heating-led or cooling-led.
Aguila has a long frost-free window of roughly 247 days, but the dry annual profile is a separate constraint. Growing-season length says when freezes are unlikely, not whether rainfall is sufficient.
