The year, day by day
Red Rock works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 95°F by July 31 and hold at or above 90°F on 64 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 94 dates, bottoming at 25°F around January 10.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 27 through August 29, covering 64 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 11 to October 24.
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 29, then returns to freezing around November 28, covering 94 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.
The widest day
October 13 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 26°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Red Rock Stands Nationally
Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 64 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.
Red Rock earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Red Rock spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 33% of the annual total and December through February 12%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Red Rock has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 45.1°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 5.0" and January 1.2". The three wettest months together take 37% 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Red Rock's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Red Rock's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 3,876 annual heating degree days against 1,881 for cooling. Its 45.1°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Red Rock's frost-free season lasts about 203 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 Red Rock's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 45.1°F. The annual average is 59°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Red Rock's 36.5 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 Red Rock'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 Red Rock, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
