Granite Peak Dugway PG'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
Granite Peak Dugway PG works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 98°F by July 19 and hold at or above 90°F on 72 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 118 dates, bottoming at 18°F around December 22.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 21 through August 31, covering 72 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 2 to October 9.
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 5, then returns to freezing around November 9, covering 118 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
September 2 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 31°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Granite Peak Dugway PG Stands Nationally
Aridity defines the water calendar: about 6 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.
Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 72 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.
Granite Peak Dugway PG earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Granite Peak Dugway PG spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 25% of the annual total and December through February 23%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Granite Peak Dugway PG has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 53°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 0.7" and September 0.3". The three wettest months together take 33% 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.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Granite Peak Dugway PG's limited precipitation lands
heating led · dry · mid swing
Granite Peak Dugway PG's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,256 annual heating degree days against 1,465 for cooling. Its 53.0°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Granite Peak Dugway PG's frost-free season lasts about 181 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 Granite Peak Dugway PG's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 53.0°F. The annual average is 55°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Granite Peak Dugway PG's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 6.4 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.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Granite Peak Dugway PG's primary station: GRANITE PEAK DUGWAY PG (USW00004134). 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 Granite Peak Dugway PG; 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 Granite Peak Dugway PG comes from its primary NOAA station record.
