Data-derived climate profile
How Little SU AT Hatcher Pass Brg's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Little SU AT Hatcher Pass Brg's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 10,698 annual heating degree days against 2 for cooling. Its 41.4°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 123 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 January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Little SU AT Hatcher Pass Brg's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 41.4°F. The annual average is 36°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Little SU AT Hatcher Pass Brg'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 Little SU AT Hatcher Pass Brg'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 Little SU AT Hatcher Pass Brg, 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 Little SU AT Hatcher Pass Brg's primary station: LITTLE SU AT HATCHER PASS BRG (USC00505527). 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 Little SU AT Hatcher Pass Brg; 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 Little SU AT Hatcher Pass Brg comes from its primary NOAA station record. No figure on this page is typed in by an editor - each value is rendered from NOAA 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals.
