Climate Insight: Moon Lake, UT
The NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals describe Moon Lake, Utah as a location with an annual average temperature of 40°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 53°F to a mean daily low of 28°F. August is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. These thirty-year averages, computed from station USC00425815, smooth out year-to-year variability and give a baseline expectation for typical conditions in any given month.
Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Moon Lake receives roughly an uncharted amount of precipitation each year, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 99 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near June 11 and the first fall freeze near September 18. For energy use, 9,017 heating degree days and 46 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Moon Lake scores 39/100 (Below Average), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above are the practical planning tool: mild highs and lows land in the shoulder seasons, August-driven heat peaks in summer, and January-driven cold sets in over deep winter. These are thirty-year averages, not a forecast - any single year can run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal.
