The year, day by day
Greybull works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 92°F by July 24 and hold at or above 90°F on 32 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 191 dates, bottoming at 2°F around January 6.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 11 through August 11, covering 32 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 14 to September 29.
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 April 19, then returns to freezing around October 12, covering 191 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 May 30, when 25% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is December 8 at 8%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 47 wet dates a year.
The widest day
August 19 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 36°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Greybull 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 36°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.
Greybull earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Greybull spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 27% of the annual total and December through February 13%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Greybull has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 56.7°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 1.4" and March 0.2". The three wettest months together take 49% 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.
Greybull is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 47 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 13% of the calendar, and they carry 7.2" between them. At roughly 0.15 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 May at about 7 wet days; the driest is December 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 Greybull
Greybull averages 19.2 inches of snowfall a year, with February the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 13 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: 19.2 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 13 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 27% 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 Greybull
heating led · dry · high swing
Winter and seasonal range jointly define this record. Greybull logs 7,822 heating degree days, more than twice its 582 cooling total, while the typical coldest-to-warmest-month gap reaches 56.7°F. The annual mean therefore compresses two materially different seasons.
Only about 135 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.
