The year, day by day
Jackpot works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 90°F by July 26 and hold at or above 90°F on 13 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 223 dates, bottoming at 11°F around January 1.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 20 through August 1, covering 13 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 27 to September 30.
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 May 8, then returns to freezing around September 29, covering 223 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
August 31 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 41°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Jackpot Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 223 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.
Aridity defines the water calendar: about 11 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.
Jackpot earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Jackpot spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 22% of the annual total and December through February 20%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Jackpot has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 43.1°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 1.8" and July 0.6". The three wettest months together take 37% 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 Jackpot's limited precipitation lands
heating led · dry · mid swing
Jackpot's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,702 annual heating degree days against 290 for cooling. Its 43.1°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Jackpot. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Jackpot's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 43.1°F. The annual average is 45°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Jackpot's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 11.4 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 source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Jackpot's primary station: JACKPOT (USC00264016). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The 2024 Census Gazetteer identifies the exact name-and-state match as a census-designated place (GEOID 3236500), not an incorporated municipality. Match rule for Jackpot: exact normalized name + state only, no fuzzy expansion, so nearby differently spelled facilities stay unmatched.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Jackpot comes from its primary NOAA station record.
