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

The year, day by day
Bunkerville works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 107°F by July 18 and hold at or above 90°F on 140 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 65 dates, bottoming at 28°F around December 18.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from May 16 through October 2, covering 140 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 7 to November 13.
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 January 31, then returns to freezing around November 28, covering 65 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 18, when 12% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is June 4 at 2%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 22 wet dates a year.
The widest day
June 17 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 39°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Bunkerville Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 140 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.
Bunkerville earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Bunkerville's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 39% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 19%. 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 44.7°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- February, 0.9"
- Driest month
- June, 0.1"
- Wettest three months
- February, January, August (40% 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 Bunkerville's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 23 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 5.9" 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.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Bunkerville's limited precipitation lands
mixed demand · dry · mid swing
Local precipitation is sparse in this otherwise mixed profile. The station reports 5.9 inches annually, within PlainClimate's dry band. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The monthly distribution matters because the total alone does not reveal the timing.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Bunkerville's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 44.7°F. The annual average is 66°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Bunkerville's normal, at 2,561 and 2,761 degree days respectively. Neither total exceeds the other by more than two to one, so the record is better read as a mixed-demand calendar than as heating-led or cooling-led.
Bunkerville has a long frost-free window of roughly 242 days, but the dry annual profile is a separate constraint. Growing-season length says when freezes are unlikely, not whether rainfall is sufficient.
