The year, day by day
Mutual works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 95°F by July 24 and hold at or above 90°F on 73 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 116 dates, bottoming at 22°F around January 12.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 19 through August 30, covering 73 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 15 to October 21.
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 March 11, then returns to freezing around November 17, covering 116 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 June 1, when 28% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is January 6 at 11%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 70 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 4 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 29°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Mutual Stands Nationally
Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 73 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.

Mutual runs a summer-peaked wet season
35% of Mutual'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 May at 4.1", on a wide 46°F gap between its warmest and coldest month. 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: May, June, July, taking 40% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: January at 0.8".
- Winter share: 11% 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.
When it rains in Mutual, it arrives in quantity
26.7" of precipitation falls across only about 70 wet days here, averaging 0.38 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 70 a year, 19% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.38 inches
- Most wet days
- May, about 8
- Fewest wet days
- January, about 3
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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Mutual's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Mutual's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 4,375 annual heating degree days against 1,698 for cooling. Its 46.0°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Mutual's frost-free season lasts about 190 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 Mutual's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 46.0°F. The annual average is 58°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Mutual's 26.7 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Mutual'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 Mutual, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
