The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 88°F around July 22, short of 90°F on every date, while 114 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 22°F near January 1.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 6, then returns to freezing around November 14, covering 114 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 December 29, when 38% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 8 at 14%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 106 wet dates a year.
The widest day
June 23 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 21°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Bountiful Bench spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 11% of the annual total and December through February 30%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Bountiful Bench has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 47.1°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: April averages 3.7" and July 0.7". The three wettest months together take 36% 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.
How Bountiful Bench's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 106 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 27.6" between them, or roughly 0.26 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.
Winter brings real snow to Bountiful Bench
Bountiful Bench averages 118.9 inches of snowfall a year, with January the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 44 days that record measurable snow. That is depth accumulating on the ground, which is why it can exceed the annual precipitation figure: precipitation counts the liquid the snow melts down to, and fresh snow is mostly air.
- Annual snowfall: 118.9 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 44 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 43% of the year's precipitation.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. The ten-to-one ratio is a convention, not a measurement: real ratios vary with temperature, so treat the share as an order of magnitude rather than an exact split.

Snow and freeze rhythm
When cold and snow define Bountiful Bench
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Bountiful Bench's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,937 annual heating degree days against 928 for cooling. Its 47.1°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Bountiful Bench's frost-free season lasts about 182 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Bountiful Bench's primary station: BOUNTIFUL BENCH (USC00420819). 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 Bountiful Bench; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
