The year, day by day
Lytle Rch works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 101°F by July 17 and hold at or above 90°F on 115 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 38 dates, bottoming at 30°F around December 17.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from May 29 through September 20, covering 115 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 23 to November 4.
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 January 10, then returns to freezing around December 4, covering 38 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 February 16, when 15% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is June 8 at 3%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 29 wet dates a year.
The widest day
June 12 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 36°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Lytle Rch Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 115 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 11 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.

Lytle Rch's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 46% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 13%. That is the cool-season-dominant pattern of the West Coast and the higher inland West, where storm tracks swing south in winter and summer turns dry; the thermometer meanwhile shows a 41.4°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- February, 2.1"
- Driest month
- June, 0.1"
- Wettest three months
- February, January, March (47% of the year)
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A cool-season label means the December-February share reaches 35%. Where snow falls, the monthly figures above report liquid-equivalent precipitation, so a wet winter month is not necessarily a rainy one.
When it rains in Lytle Rch, it arrives in quantity
11.1" of precipitation falls across only about 28 wet days here, averaging 0.40 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.

- about 28 a year, 8% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.40 inches
- Most wet days
- February, about 4
- Fewest wet days
- June, about 1
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, and a per-day average is not a forecast of any individual storm.
Snow reaches Lytle Rch, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 1.4 inches of snow a year here, most likely in December. That is a real but marginal amount: enough that snow is part of the local record, not enough to define the winter.
A figure in this range usually reflects a handful of events that melt quickly rather than a season of accumulation; about 0 days a year record any measurable snow at all.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. An average across thirty years can smooth away a single heavy winter, so a small annual figure does not mean a significant snowfall is impossible.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Lytle Rch's limited precipitation lands
mixed demand · dry · mid swing
Local precipitation is sparse in this otherwise mixed profile. The station reports 11.1 inches annually, within PlainClimate's dry band. Annual snowfall totals 1.4 inches. 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 Lytle Rch'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 Lytle Rch's normal, at 2,897 and 2,114 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 236-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 Lytle Rch; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
