The year, day by day
Chino Valley works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 94°F by July 3 and hold at or above 90°F on 78 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 127 dates, bottoming at 23°F around December 19.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 12 through August 28, covering 78 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 9 to October 31.
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 March 15, then returns to freezing around November 10, covering 127 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.
The widest day
June 8 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 38°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Chino Valley's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Chino Valley's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 4,058 annual heating degree days against 1,179 for cooling. Its 39.8°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Chino Valley's frost-free season lasts about 180 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Chino Valley's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 39.8°F. The annual average is 57°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Chino Valley's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Chino Valley's primary station, so the winter figures are a thirty-year average and not a floor: a single hard season can run well below them. Treat each band as a descriptive range for Chino Valley, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
