The year, day by day
Deming Muni works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 97°F by June 23 and hold at or above 90°F on 105 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 92 dates, bottoming at 26°F around January 1.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from May 25 through September 6, covering 105 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 16 to November 7.
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 February 22, then returns to freezing around November 23, covering 92 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 July 28, when 33% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is April 9 at 4%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 51 wet dates a year.
The widest day
May 29 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 37°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Deming Muni Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 105 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 9 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.
Deming Muni earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Deming Muni runs a summer-peaked wet season
48% of Deming Muni's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is August at 2.0", on a 39.1°F seasonal spread. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: August, July, September, taking 54% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: May at 0.1".
- Winter share: 19% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
Deming Muni is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 51 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 14% of the calendar, and they carry 9.3" between them. At roughly 0.18 inches on an average wet day, this is not the damp drizzle of a marine climate; it is an arid record in which precipitation is both uncommon and light when it appears.
The wettest month by count is July at about 10 wet days; the driest is April at about 1.
A low per-event average in a dry record is a statement about typical days only. Arid regions can still take a large share of a year's total from a single convective storm, which a normal cannot show.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, not the extremes within it.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Deming Muni's limited precipitation lands
mixed demand · dry · mid swing
Local precipitation is sparse in this otherwise mixed profile. The station reports 9.3 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 January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Deming Muni's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 39.1°F. The annual average is 62°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Deming Muni's normal, at 3,047 and 1,815 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.
A roughly 214-day frost-free season sits inside this mixed heating-and-cooling profile. Start and end dates matter because both sides of the thermostat register during a normal year.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Deming Muni's primary station: DEMING MUNI AP (USW00023078). 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 Deming Muni; 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 Deming Muni comes from its primary NOAA station record.
