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

The year, day by day
The year in Meadview runs from a mild 33°F around December 19 to 102°F at the peak near July 11, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from May 25 through September 23, covering 122 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 20 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.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 33°F around December 19.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is February 17, when 12% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is June 1 at 2%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 26 wet dates a year.
The widest day
June 12 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 29°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Meadview Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 122 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 7 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.

Meadview spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 26% of the annual total and December through February 32%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Meadview has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 44.9°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: July averages 1.2" and May 0.1". The three wettest months together take 41% 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.
How Meadview's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 26 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 7.0" between them, or roughly 0.27 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.
Snow reaches Meadview, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 0.7 inches of snow a year here, most likely in March. 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 Meadview's limited precipitation lands
mixed demand · dry · mid swing
Local precipitation is sparse in this otherwise mixed profile. The station reports 7.0 inches annually, within PlainClimate's dry band. Annual snowfall totals 0.7 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 Meadview's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 44.9°F. The annual average is 66°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Meadview's normal, at 2,565 and 3,002 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.
Meadview has a long frost-free window of roughly 268 days, but the dry annual profile is a separate constraint. Growing-season length says when freezes are unlikely, not whether rainfall is sufficient.
