The year, day by day
Beowawe 49s - U of N Rch works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 91°F by July 24 and hold at or above 90°F on 23 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 204 dates, bottoming at 13°F around December 22.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 15 through August 6, covering 23 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 20 to October 9.
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 April 26, then returns to freezing around October 6, covering 204 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 6, when 22% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 1 at 9%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 56 wet dates a year.
The widest day
September 27 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 40°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Beowawe 49s - U of N Rch Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 204 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.
Aridity defines the water calendar: about 9 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.
Beowawe 49s - U of N Rch earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Beowawe 49s - U of N Rch spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 17% of the annual total and December through February 26%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Beowawe 49s - U of N Rch has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 42.5°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 1.4" and August 0.3". The three wettest months together take 37% of the year, against the 25% a perfectly flat distribution would give them.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. "Spread across the year" means neither the June-August nor the December-February share reaches 35%; it describes an average year, not the variability of any single one.
Beowawe 49s - U of N Rch is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 56 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 15% of the calendar, and they carry 8.9" between them. At roughly 0.16 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 7 wet days; the driest is August 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 Beowawe 49s - U of N Rch's limited precipitation lands
heating led · dry · mid swing
Beowawe 49s - U of N Rch's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 6,613 annual heating degree days against 406 for cooling. Its 42.5°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 116 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 Beowawe 49s - U of N Rch's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 42.5°F. The annual average is 48°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Beowawe 49s - U of N Rch's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 8.9 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.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Beowawe 49s - U of N Rch's primary station: BEOWAWE 49S - U OF N RCH (USC00260800). For informational purposes only.
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 Beowawe 49s - U of N Rch; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Beowawe 49s - U of N Rch comes from its primary NOAA station record.
