The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 89°F around July 25, short of 90°F on every date, while 192 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 9°F near December 24.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 24, then returns to freezing around October 16, covering 192 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 May 8, when 31% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is January 1 at 13%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 69 wet dates a year.
The widest day
July 14 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 33°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Lander Hunt Fld Stands Nationally
Freezing is routine here by normals standards — the normal low reaches 32°F or colder on about 192 nights a year, more than most ranked stations.
A drier-than-most normal water year — around 13 inches, below what four out of five ranked stations collect.
Lander Hunt Fld earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Lander Hunt Fld spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 17% of the annual total and December through February 14%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Lander Hunt Fld has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 50.2°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 2.7" and January 0.5". The three wettest months together take 46% 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.
Lander Hunt Fld is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 69 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 19% of the calendar, and they carry 13.2" between them. At roughly 0.19 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 May at about 9 wet days; the driest is January at about 4.
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 Lander Hunt Fld
Lander Hunt Fld averages 87.6 inches of snowfall a year, with April the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 35 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: 87.6 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 35 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 66% 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 Lander Hunt Fld
heating led · dry · mid swing
Lander Hunt Fld's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,711 annual heating degree days against 485 for cooling. Its 50.2°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 132 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.

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 Lander Hunt Fld; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
