The year, day by day
Mtn View works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 92°F by July 26 and hold at or above 90°F on 50 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 68 dates, bottoming at 28°F around January 13.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 3 through August 21, covering 50 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 12 to October 23.
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 February 16, then returns to freezing around December 11, covering 68 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 May 17, when 32% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is September 28 at 20%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 93 wet dates a year.
The widest day
October 5 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 25°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Mtn View spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 22% of the annual total and December through February 22%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Mtn View has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 42.4°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: April averages 5.6" and February 3.4". The three wettest months together take 32% 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.
When it rains in Mtn View, it arrives in quantity
51.9" of precipitation falls across only about 92 wet days here, averaging 0.56 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 92 a year, 25% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.56 inches
- Most wet days
- May, about 10
- Fewest wet days
- September, about 6
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 Mtn View, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 4.9 inches of snow a year here, most likely in February. 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 2 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Mtn View's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Mtn View's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 3,632 annual heating degree days against 1,727 for cooling. Its 42.4°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Mtn View's frost-free season lasts about 212 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Mtn View's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 42.4°F. The annual average is 60°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, Mtn View carries 51.9 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Annual snowfall totals 4.9 inches. That distinction matters because a wet annual total can arrive as rain, snow, or a mixture at different times.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Mtn View'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 Mtn View, 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 Mtn View's primary station: MTN VIEW (USC00035046). 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 Mtn View; 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 Mtn View comes from its primary NOAA station record.
