The year, day by day
The year in Mt Plymouth runs from a mild 44°F around January 13 to 93°F at the peak near July 21, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from May 31 through September 17, covering 110 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs January 1 to December 31.
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 44°F around January 13.
The widest day
March 17 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 30°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Mt Plymouth Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 110 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
The normal water year runs well above the national norm at roughly 54 inches.
Mt Plymouth earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Mt Plymouth runs a summer-peaked wet season
44% of Mt Plymouth'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 August at 8.5", on an unusually narrow 25.1°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: August, June, July, taking 44% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: November at 2.0".
- Winter share: 14% 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Mt Plymouth's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · wet · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Mt Plymouth. Cooling totals 3,134 degree days, more than double the 828 heating measure, and the 25.1°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
Warm-season demand is paired with a wet annual normal: 54.3 inches of precipitation at Mt Plymouth. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The month-by-month bars distinguish a concentrated wet season from moisture spread across the calendar.
Mt Plymouth's 25.1°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 71°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
The frost-free window extends for about 308 days. That is a long calendar measure, but it is not a forecast and does not combine heat, rainfall, soil, or local elevation into a planting recommendation.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Mt Plymouth's primary station, so the summer figures are a thirty-year average rather than a ceiling: individual years have run hotter and will again. For Mt Plymouth that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Mt Plymouth's primary station: MT PLYMOUTH 1SSW (USC00087228). 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 Mt Plymouth; 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 Mt Plymouth comes from its primary NOAA station record.
