The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 83°F around July 22, short of 90°F on every date, while 254 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest -4°F near January 1.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 25, then returns to freezing around September 15, covering 254 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 15, when 26% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is December 18 at 12%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 65 wet dates a year.
The widest day
July 13 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 40°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Big Piney Marbleton Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 254 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.
Aridity defines the water calendar: about 8 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.
Big Piney Marbleton earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Big Piney Marbleton runs a summer-peaked wet season
36% of Big Piney Marbleton'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 May at 1.2", on a wide 50.2°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: May, June, July, taking 41% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: December at 0.2".
- Winter share: 14% 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.
Big Piney Marbleton is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 65 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 18% of the calendar, and they carry 7.7" between them. At roughly 0.12 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 8 wet days; the driest is November at about 4.
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.

heating led · dry · mid swing
Big Piney Marbleton's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 10,404 annual heating degree days against 31 for cooling. Its 50.2°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Big Piney Marbleton. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Big Piney Marbleton's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 50.2°F. The annual average is 37°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Big Piney Marbleton's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 7.7 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 Big Piney Marbleton; 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 Big Piney Marbleton comes from its primary NOAA station record.
