The year, day by day
Keams Canyon works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 90°F by July 9 and hold at or above 90°F on 4 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 177 dates, bottoming at 16°F around December 22.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 9 through July 12, covering 4 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 4 to October 10.
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 16, then returns to freezing around October 23, covering 177 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
June 11 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 40°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Keams Canyon's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Keams Canyon's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,722 annual heating degree days against 556 for cooling. Its 42.9°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 147 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.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Keams Canyon's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 42.9°F. The annual average is 51°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Keams Canyon's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Keams Canyon's primary station, so the winter figures are a thirty-year average and not a floor: a single hard season can run well below them. Treat each band as a descriptive range for Keams Canyon, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Keams Canyon's primary station: KEAMS CANYON (USC00024586). 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 0437130), not an incorporated municipality. Match rule for Keams Canyon: 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 Keams Canyon comes from its primary NOAA station record.
