The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 82°F around July 21, short of 90°F on every date, while 221 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 9°F near December 23.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 11, then returns to freezing around October 4, covering 221 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 18, when 36% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is January 13 at 15%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 86 wet dates a year.
The widest day
July 1 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 33°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Laramie Rgnl Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 221 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.
Laramie Rgnl earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Laramie Rgnl runs a summer-peaked wet season
38% of Laramie Rgnl's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is May at 1.8", on a 43.3°F seasonal spread. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: May, June, July, taking 44% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: January at 0.3".
- Winter share: 9% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
Laramie Rgnl is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 86 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 24% of the calendar, and they carry 10.5" between them. At roughly 0.12 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 11 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.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Laramie Rgnl's limited precipitation lands
heating led · dry · mid swing
Laramie Rgnl's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 8,677 annual heating degree days against 85 for cooling. Its 43.3°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 105 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 Laramie Rgnl's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 43.3°F. The annual average is 41°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Laramie Rgnl's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 10.5 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 Laramie Rgnl's primary station: LARAMIE RGNL AP (USW00024022). 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 Laramie Rgnl; 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 Laramie Rgnl comes from its primary NOAA station record.
