Climate Insight: Bouse, AZ
An annual average temperature of 71°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 87°F to a mean daily low of 55°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Bouse, Arizona. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00020949 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Bouse receives roughly 5.7 inches of precipitation each year, with negligible snowfall. The frost-free season averages 283 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near February 18 and the first fall freeze near November 28. For energy use, 1,536 heating degree days and 3,861 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Bouse scores 77/100 (Good), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat at the peak of summer, and December-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
