The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 76°F around July 21, short of 90°F on every date, while 186 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 22°F near December 19.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 3, then returns to freezing around October 31, covering 186 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 17, when 30% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 19 at 5%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 57 wet dates a year.
The widest day
July 2 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 26°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Dagget Pass Stands Nationally
Freezing is routine here by normals standards — the normal low reaches 32°F or colder on about 186 nights a year, more than most ranked stations.
Dagget Pass earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Dagget Pass's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 52% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 5%. 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 33.4°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- December, 4.0"
- Driest month
- July, 0.2"
- Wettest three months
- December, January, March (52% 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.
When it rains in Dagget Pass, it arrives in quantity
21.8" of precipitation falls across only about 57 wet days here, averaging 0.38 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 57 a year, 16% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.38 inches

A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, and a per-day average is not a forecast of any individual storm.

Data-derived climate profile
How Dagget Pass's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Dagget Pass's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,935 annual heating degree days against 47 for cooling. Its 33.4°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 113 days are frost-free in a normal year. That short interval is consistent with the cold-season signal, but the measure does not predict the exact first or last freeze in any one year.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Dagget Pass's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 33.4°F. The annual average is 43°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Dagget Pass's 21.8 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Dagget Pass'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 Dagget Pass, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Dagget Pass's primary station: DAGGET PASS (USC00262119). 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 Dagget Pass; 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 Dagget Pass comes from its primary NOAA station record.
