The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 79°F around July 28, short of 90°F on every date, while 265 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 4°F near January 1.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into June 1, then returns to freezing around September 11, covering 265 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
August 5 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 41°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Dixie N Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 265 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.
Day-to-night contrast is extreme by national standards — the widest normal daily swing reaches about 41°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.
Dixie N earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Dixie N's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 36% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 14%. 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 40.7°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- December, 4.8"
- Driest month
- August, 0.9"
- Wettest three months
- December, January, February (36% 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Dixie N's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Dixie N's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 10,631 annual heating degree days against 4 for cooling. Its 40.7°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Dixie N. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Dixie N's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 40.7°F. The annual average is 36°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Dixie N's 33.6 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 Dixie N'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 Dixie N, 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 Dixie N's primary station: DIXIE N (USC00102577). 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 Dixie N; 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 Dixie N comes from its primary NOAA station record.
