Kingman Mohave County's normals sit in a dry climate class: BWk
Annual precipitation falls well below the aridity threshold for this temperature regime, so the normals classify as cold desert (BWk). Class BWk is the Peel et al. (2007) label for this station's monthly mean temperature and precipitation normals: dry (arid or semi-arid), specifically cold desert.

The year, day by day
Kingman Mohave County works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 99°F by July 10 and hold at or above 90°F on 112 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 70 dates, bottoming at 30°F around December 15.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from May 30 through September 18, covering 112 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 26 to November 7.
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 February 6, then returns to freezing around November 29, covering 70 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 July 27, when 17% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is June 3 at 3%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 40 wet dates a year.
The widest day
June 6 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 34°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Kingman Mohave County Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 112 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
Aridity defines the water calendar: about 8 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.
Kingman Mohave County earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Kingman Mohave County spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 23% of the annual total and December through February 34%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Kingman Mohave County has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 41.4°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: February averages 1.0" and May 0.1". 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.
Kingman Mohave County is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 40 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 11% of the calendar, and they carry 8.0" between them. At roughly 0.20 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 July at about 5 wet days; the driest is June at about 1.
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.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Kingman Mohave County's limited precipitation lands
mixed demand · dry · mid swing
Local precipitation is sparse in this otherwise mixed profile. The station reports 8.0 inches annually, within PlainClimate's dry band. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The monthly distribution matters because the total alone does not reveal the timing.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Kingman Mohave County's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 41.4°F. The annual average is 63°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Kingman Mohave County's normal, at 3,013 and 2,174 degree days respectively. Neither total exceeds the other by more than two to one, so the record is better read as a mixed-demand calendar than as heating-led or cooling-led.
A roughly 223-day frost-free season sits inside this mixed heating-and-cooling profile. Start and end dates matter because both sides of the thermostat register during a normal year.

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 Kingman Mohave County; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
