Haiwee's normals sit in a dry climate class: BSk
Precipitation is low relative to temperature but above true desert thresholds: cold semi-arid steppe (BSk). Class BSk is the Peel et al. (2007) label for this station's monthly mean temperature and precipitation normals: dry (arid or semi-arid), specifically cold semi-arid steppe.

The year, day by day
Haiwee works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 95°F by July 20 and hold at or above 90°F on 76 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 108 dates, bottoming at 26°F around December 20.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 20 through September 3, covering 76 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 22 to October 26.
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 4, then returns to freezing around November 18, covering 108 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 February 15, when 16% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is June 17 at 2%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 27 wet dates a year.
The widest day
June 15 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 33°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Haiwee 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 76 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.

Haiwee's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 60% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 7%. 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 a 39.5°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- February, 1.5"
- Driest month
- June, 0.1"
- Wettest three months
- February, January, December (60% of the year)
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.
How Haiwee's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 27 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 6.2" between them, or roughly 0.23 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Haiwee's limited precipitation lands
heating led · dry · mid swing
Haiwee's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 4,088 annual heating degree days against 1,283 for cooling. Its 39.5°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Haiwee's frost-free season lasts about 198 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 Haiwee's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 39.5°F. The annual average is 57°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Haiwee's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 6.2 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 Haiwee's primary station: HAIWEE (USC00043710). 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 Haiwee; 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 Haiwee comes from its primary NOAA station record.
