The year, day by day
Pleasant Grove works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 95°F by July 21 and hold at or above 90°F on 54 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 106 dates, bottoming at 23°F around January 1.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 30 through August 22, covering 54 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 5 to October 10.
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 1, then returns to freezing around November 17, covering 106 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 January 25, when 31% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is June 30 at 12%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 86 wet dates a year.
The widest day
June 26 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 30°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Pleasant Grove 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 31%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Pleasant Grove has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 46.3°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 2.0" and July 0.6". 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.
Pleasant Grove is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 86 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 23% 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 January at about 10 wet days; the driest is July at about 4.
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.
Winter brings real snow to Pleasant Grove
Pleasant Grove averages 41.4 inches of snowfall a year, with January the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 19 days that record measurable snow. That is depth accumulating on the ground, which is why it can exceed the annual precipitation figure: precipitation counts the liquid the snow melts down to, and fresh snow is mostly air.
- Annual snowfall: 41.4 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 19 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 25% of the year's precipitation.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. The ten-to-one ratio is a convention, not a measurement: real ratios vary with temperature, so treat the share as an order of magnitude rather than an exact split.

Snow and freeze rhythm
When cold and snow define Pleasant Grove
heating led · dry · mid swing
Pleasant Grove's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,005 annual heating degree days against 1,187 for cooling. Its 46.3°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Pleasant Grove's frost-free season lasts about 191 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
