The year, day by day
Fremont Indian State Park works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 90°F by July 20 and hold at or above 90°F on 14 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 212 dates, bottoming at 11°F around December 21.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 15 through July 28, covering 14 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 14 to October 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 May 3, then returns to freezing around October 5, covering 212 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 August 3, when 25% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is June 21 at 11%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 68 wet dates a year.
The widest day
September 20 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 40°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Fremont Indian State Park Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 212 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 40°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.

Fremont Indian State Park spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 26% of the annual total and December through February 22%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Fremont Indian State Park has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 43.5°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: August averages 1.3" and June 0.6". The three wettest months together take 31% of the year, against the 25% a perfectly flat distribution would give them.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. "Spread across the year" means neither the June-August nor the December-February share reaches 35%; it describes an average year, not the variability of any single one.
Fremont Indian State Park is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 68 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 18% of the calendar, and they carry 12.1" 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 August at about 8 wet days; the driest is June at about 3.
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.
Winter brings real snow to Fremont Indian State Park
Fremont Indian State Park averages 44.8 inches of snowfall a year, with January the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 20 days that record measurable snow. That is depth accumulating on the ground, which is why it can exceed the annual precipitation figure: precipitation counts the liquid the snow melts down to, and fresh snow is mostly air.
- Annual snowfall: 44.8 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 20 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 37% of the year's precipitation.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. The ten-to-one ratio is a convention, not a measurement: real ratios vary with temperature, so treat the share as an order of magnitude rather than an exact split.

Snow and freeze rhythm
When cold and snow define Fremont Indian State Park
heating led · dry · mid swing
Fremont Indian State Park's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 6,867 annual heating degree days against 374 for cooling. Its 43.5°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 109 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.

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 Fremont Indian State Park; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
