The year, day by day
The year in Newhall runs from a mild 43°F around December 9 to 96°F at the peak near August 14, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 25 through September 18, covering 86 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 11 to November 18.
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 43°F around December 9.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is February 20, when 23% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is June 27 at 0%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 31 wet dates a year.
The widest day
August 14 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 32°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Newhall Stands Nationally
Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 86 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.

Newhall's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 67% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 0%. That is the cool-season-dominant pattern of the West Coast and the higher inland West, where storm tracks swing south in winter and summer turns dry; the thermometer meanwhile shows an unusually narrow 26.5°F seasonal spread.

Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A cool-season label means the December-February share reaches 35%. Where snow falls, the monthly figures above report liquid-equivalent precipitation, so a wet winter month is not necessarily a rainy one.
When it rains in Newhall, it arrives in quantity
16.8" of precipitation falls across only about 31 wet days here, averaging 0.55 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.

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 Newhall, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 0.1 inches of snow a year here, most likely in January. 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Newhall's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · dry · low swing
Local precipitation is sparse in this otherwise mixed profile. The station reports 16.8 inches annually, within PlainClimate's dry band. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. The monthly distribution matters because the total alone does not reveal the timing.
The calendar stays thermally compact and dry. August and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar, only 26.5°F apart, while the annual precipitation total remains below PlainClimate's dry threshold. The annual average is 66°F. The monthly rows show whether that limited precipitation is spread through the year or concentrated in a shorter interval.
Newhall combines a compact 26.5°F annual temperature range with meaningful demand on both sides of the thermostat: 1,677 heating and 1,902 cooling degree days. The balance matters more here than either annual total in isolation.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Newhall. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Newhall's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like Newhall, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

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 Newhall; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
