The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 87°F around July 18, short of 90°F on every date, while 121 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 20°F near December 23.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 12, then returns to freezing around November 13, covering 121 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 August 5, when 24% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is June 16 at 10%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 66 wet dates a year.
The widest day
July 22 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 22°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Hans Flat Ranger Station Stands Nationally
Aridity defines the water calendar: about 10 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.
Days and nights track unusually close together; the widest normal swing, about 22°F, is narrower than most stations record.
Hans Flat Ranger Station earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Hans Flat Ranger Station spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 24% of the annual total and December through February 22%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Hans Flat Ranger Station has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 47.4°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: October averages 1.2" and June 0.4". The three wettest months together take 34% 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.
Hans Flat Ranger Station is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 66 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 18% of the calendar, and they carry 9.6" 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 August at about 7 wet days; the driest is June 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 Hans Flat Ranger Station
Hans Flat Ranger Station averages 38.5 inches of snowfall a year, with January the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 22 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: 38.5 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 22 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 40% 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.

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 Hans Flat Ranger Station; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
