The year, day by day
Ogden Hinkley works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 93°F by July 21 and hold at or above 90°F on 36 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 120 dates, bottoming at 21°F around January 1.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 7 through August 11, covering 36 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 16 to October 1.
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 10, then returns to freezing around November 12, covering 120 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 April 10, when 33% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 10 at 10%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 86 wet dates a year.
The widest day
July 1 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 27°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Ogden Hinkley spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 13% of the annual total and December through February 27%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Ogden Hinkley has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 49.5°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 2.2" and July 0.3". The three wettest months together take 36% 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.
Ogden Hinkley is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 86 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 24% of the calendar, and they carry 16.4" between them. At roughly 0.19 inches on an average wet day, this is not the damp drizzle of a marine climate; it is an arid record in which precipitation is both uncommon and light when it appears.
The wettest month by count is April at about 10 wet days; the driest is July at about 3.
A low per-event average in a dry record is a statement about typical days only. Arid regions can still take a large share of a year's total from a single convective storm, which a normal cannot show.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, not the extremes within it.

Data-derived climate profile
How Ogden Hinkley's climate pattern fits together
heating led · dry · mid swing
Ogden Hinkley's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,850 annual heating degree days against 1,052 for cooling. Its 49.5°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Ogden Hinkley's frost-free season lasts about 183 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 Ogden Hinkley's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 49.5°F. The annual average is 52°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Ogden Hinkley's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 16.4 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Ogden Hinkley'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 Ogden Hinkley, 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 Ogden Hinkley's primary station: OGDEN HINKLEY AP (USW00024126). 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 Ogden Hinkley; 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 Ogden Hinkley comes from its primary NOAA station record.
