The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Getty Ctr: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 50°F near February 17 and 84°F near August 29.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 50°F around February 17.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is December 17, when 24% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 16 at 1%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 38 wet dates a year.
The widest day
August 14 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 21°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Getty Ctr Stands Nationally
Days and nights track unusually close together; the widest normal swing, about 21°F, is narrower than most stations record.
Getty Ctr earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Getty Ctr's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 69% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 1%. 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 an unusually narrow 14.6°F seasonal spread.

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 Getty Ctr, it arrives in quantity
18.1" of precipitation falls across only about 38 wet days here, averaging 0.48 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.

- about 38 a year, 10% of all days

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.
Getty Ctr's record shows no measurable snowfall
This station measured snowfall across the 1991-2020 period and recorded none: the annual normal is 0.0 inches. That is a measured zero rather than missing data, which is a meaningful distinction here , most stations in the database simply do not report snow at all, and those pages say nothing about it.
A thirty-year normal of zero describes the typical year at this station. It is not a claim that snow has never fallen in the area.

Data-derived climate profile
How Getty Ctr's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · dry · low swing
Local precipitation is sparse in this otherwise mixed profile. The station reports 18.1 inches annually, within PlainClimate's dry band. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. The monthly distribution matters because the total alone does not reveal the timing.
The calendar stays thermally compact and dry. September and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar, only 14.6°F apart, while the annual precipitation total remains below PlainClimate's dry threshold. The annual average is 64°F. The monthly rows show whether that limited precipitation is spread through the year or concentrated in a shorter interval.
Getty Ctr combines a compact 14.6°F annual temperature range with meaningful demand on both sides of the thermostat: 1,344 heating and 1,070 cooling degree days. The balance matters more here than either annual total in isolation.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Getty Ctr. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Getty Ctr's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like Getty Ctr, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Getty Ctr's primary station: GETTY CTR (USC00043392). 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 Getty Ctr; 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 Getty Ctr comes from its primary NOAA station record.
