Amargosa Farms-garey'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
Amargosa Farms-garey works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 104°F by July 18 and hold at or above 90°F on 128 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 45 dates, bottoming at 30°F around December 19.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from May 24 through September 28, covering 128 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 16 to November 10.
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.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into January 15, then returns to freezing around December 2, covering 45 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 February 16, when 13% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is June 21 at 2%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 21 wet dates a year.
The widest day
September 17 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 35°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Amargosa Farms-garey Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 128 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 4 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.
Amargosa Farms-garey earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Amargosa Farms-garey's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 51% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 11%. 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 42.9°F seasonal spread.

- February, 0.9"

- June, 0.1"

- February, January, March (53% 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.
Amargosa Farms-garey is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 21 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 6% of the calendar, and they carry 3.8" between them. At roughly 0.18 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 February at about 4 wet days; the driest is June at about 1.
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.
Snow reaches Amargosa Farms-garey, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 0.2 inches of snow a year here, most likely in January. That is a real but marginal amount: enough that snow is part of the local record, not enough to define the winter.
A figure in this range usually reflects a handful of events that melt quickly rather than a season of accumulation; about 0 days a year record any measurable snow at all.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. An average across thirty years can smooth away a single heavy winter, so a small annual figure does not mean a significant snowfall is impossible.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Amargosa Farms-garey's limited precipitation lands
mixed demand · dry · mid swing
Local precipitation is sparse in this otherwise mixed profile. The station reports 3.8 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 Amargosa Farms-garey's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 42.9°F. The annual average is 65°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Amargosa Farms-garey's normal, at 2,646 and 2,503 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.
Amargosa Farms-garey has a long frost-free window of roughly 243 days, but the dry annual profile is a separate constraint. Growing-season length says when freezes are unlikely, not whether rainfall is sufficient.

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 Amargosa Farms-garey; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
