Grand View's normals sit in a dry climate class: BWk
Annual precipitation falls well below the aridity threshold for this temperature regime, so the normals classify as cold desert (BWk). Class BWk is the Peel et al. (2007) label for this station's monthly mean temperature and precipitation normals: dry (arid or semi-arid), specifically cold desert.

The year, day by day
Grand View works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 95°F by July 26 and hold at or above 90°F on 54 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 137 dates, bottoming at 22°F around December 29.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 3 through August 25, covering 54 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 28 to October 12.
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 March 15, then returns to freezing around October 31, covering 137 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 January 12, when 21% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 19 at 3%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 48 wet dates a year.
The widest day
August 20 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 37°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Grand View Stands Nationally
Aridity defines the water calendar: about 7 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.
Day-to-night contrast is extreme by national standards — the widest normal daily swing reaches about 37°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.
Grand View earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Grand View spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 15% of the annual total and December through February 32%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Grand View has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 44.1°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 0.9" and August 0.2". The three wettest months together take 38% 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.
Grand View is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 49 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 13% of the calendar, and they carry 6.7" between them. At roughly 0.14 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 December at about 6 wet days; the driest is August 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 Grand View's limited precipitation lands
heating led · dry · mid swing
Grand View's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,248 annual heating degree days against 885 for cooling. Its 44.1°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Grand View's frost-free season lasts about 161 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Grand View's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 44.1°F. The annual average is 53°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Grand View's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 6.7 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.
