Rio Grande Village's normals sit in a dry climate class: BWh
Annual precipitation falls well below the aridity threshold for this temperature regime, so the normals classify as hot desert (BWh). Class BWh is the Peel et al. (2007) label for this station's monthly mean temperature and precipitation normals: dry (arid or semi-arid), specifically hot desert.

The year, day by day
Rio Grande Village works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 105°F by July 31 and hold at or above 90°F on 205 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 36 dates, bottoming at 30°F around January 1.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from March 31 through October 21, covering 205 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs January 19 to December 15.
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 January 20, then returns to freezing around December 16, covering 36 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
April 3 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 41°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Rio Grande Village Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 205 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
Day-to-night contrast is extreme by national standards — the widest normal daily swing reaches about 41°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.
Rio Grande Village earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Rio Grande Village runs a summer-peaked wet season
45% of Rio Grande Village'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 June at 2.1", on a 38.6°F seasonal spread. 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: June, July, September, taking 46% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: February at 0.4".
- Winter share: 10% 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.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Rio Grande Village's limited precipitation lands
cooling led · dry · mid swing
Air-conditioning demand is the clearest thermal signal here. Rio Grande Village accumulates 4,021 cooling degree days, more than twice its 1,432 heating total; the monthly table shows when that imbalance builds rather than treating it as a year-round condition.
Heat demand sits beside limited local precipitation: Rio Grande Village receives 12.1 inches in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's dry range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Month-level precipitation is the useful check on when that small annual total arrives.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Rio Grande Village's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 38.6°F. The annual average is 72°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Rio Grande Village has a long frost-free window of roughly 258 days, but the dry annual profile is a separate constraint. Growing-season length says when freezes are unlikely, not whether rainfall is sufficient.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Rio Grande Village's primary station: RIO GRANDE VILLAGE (USC00417624). 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 Rio Grande Village; 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 Rio Grande Village comes from its primary NOAA station record.
