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

The year, day by day
Beatty works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 100°F by July 25 and hold at or above 90°F on 109 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 100 dates, bottoming at 26°F around December 15.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 3 through September 19, covering 109 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 27 to November 6.
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 February 24, then returns to freezing around November 17, covering 100 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 20, when 17% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is September 29 at 4%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 29 wet dates a year.
The widest day
August 28 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 40°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Beatty Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 109 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 6 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.
Beatty earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Beatty's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 42% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 17%. 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 39.6°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- February, 1.0"
- Driest month
- June, 0.2"
- Wettest three months
- February, March, December (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.
How Beatty's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 29 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 6.3" between them, or roughly 0.22 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.
Snow reaches Beatty, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 2.2 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 2 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 Beatty's limited precipitation lands
heating led · dry · mid swing
Beatty's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 3,430 annual heating degree days against 1,576 for cooling. Its 39.6°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Beatty's frost-free season lasts about 205 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Beatty's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 39.6°F. The annual average is 60°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Beatty's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 6.3 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Annual snowfall totals 2.2 inches. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.
