The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 89°F around July 20, short of 90°F on every date, while 206 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 8°F near December 19.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 1, then returns to freezing around October 9, covering 206 dates in all.
Derived from the normal daily minimum. This is a different measure from the 50%-probability frost dates shown elsewhere on this page, which come from NOAA’s frost product.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is May 29, when 39% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is January 12 at 9%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 79 wet dates a year.
The widest day
September 10 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 35°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Alliance Muni Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 206 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.
A drier-than-most normal water year — around 15 inches, below what four out of five ranked stations collect.
Alliance Muni earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Alliance Muni runs a summer-peaked wet season
46% of Alliance Muni's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is June at 2.9", on a wide 48.5°F gap between its warmest and coldest month. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: June, May, July, taking 53% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: January at 0.2".
- Winter share: 5% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
Alliance Muni is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 79 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 22% of the calendar, and they carry 14.9" between them. At roughly 0.19 inches on an average wet day, this is not the damp drizzle of a marine climate; it is an arid record in which precipitation is both uncommon and light when it appears.
The wettest month by count is May at about 12 wet days; the driest is January at about 3.
A low per-event average in a dry record is a statement about typical days only. Arid regions can still take a large share of a year's total from a single convective storm, which a normal cannot show.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, not the extremes within it.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Alliance Muni's limited precipitation lands
heating led · dry · mid swing
Alliance Muni's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,395 annual heating degree days against 561 for cooling. Its 48.5°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 123 days are frost-free in a normal year. That short interval is consistent with the cold-season signal, but the measure does not predict the exact first or last freeze in any one year.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Alliance Muni's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 48.5°F. The annual average is 46°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alliance Muni's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 14.9 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.

Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The conservative exact name-and-state crosswalk finds no Census place match, so PlainClimate treats this as a station-mapped location and does not claim it is a municipality. No exact Gazetteer row for Alliance Muni; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
