Climate Guides
Climate Insight: Arthur, NV
An annual average temperature of 45°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 58°F to a mean daily low of 32°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Arthur, Nevada. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00260438 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. Arthur sees about 14.1 inches of precipitation a year, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 106 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near June 4 and the first fall freeze near September 18. On the energy side, 7,522 heating degree days and 197 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Arthur scores 44/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above are the practical planning tool: mild highs and lows land in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat peaks in summer, and December-driven cold sets in over deep winter. These are thirty-year averages, not a forecast - any single year can run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal.
