The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 79°F around July 28, short of 90°F on every date, while 198 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 16°F near January 1.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 30, then returns to freezing around October 16, covering 198 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 December 20, when 60% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 27 at 16%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 142 wet dates a year.
The widest day
July 28 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 31°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Holden Village Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 198 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.

Holden Village's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 44% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 6%. 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 39.1°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- November, 8.2"
- Driest month
- July, 0.7"
- Wettest three months
- November, December, January (52% 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 Holden Village's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 142 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 43.0" between them, or roughly 0.30 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.
Winter brings real snow to Holden Village
Holden Village averages 273.7 inches of snowfall a year, with December the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 73 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: 273.7 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 73 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 64% 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 Holden Village
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Holden Village's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 8,825 annual heating degree days against 70 for cooling. Its 39.1°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 117 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.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Holden Village's primary station: HOLDEN VILLAGE (USC00453730). 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 Holden Village; 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 Holden Village comes from its primary NOAA station record.
