The year, day by day
Salt Lake City E Bench works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 94°F by July 24 and hold at or above 90°F on 41 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 117 dates, bottoming at 22°F around January 1.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 6 through August 15, covering 41 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 9 to October 7.
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 9, then returns to freezing around November 14, covering 117 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
June 9 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 29°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Salt Lake City E Bench's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Salt Lake City E Bench's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,372 annual heating degree days against 1,077 for cooling. Its 46.7°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Salt Lake City E Bench's frost-free season lasts about 176 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 Salt Lake City E Bench's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 46.7°F. The annual average is 53°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Salt Lake City E Bench's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Salt Lake City E Bench'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 Salt Lake City E Bench, 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 Salt Lake City E Bench's primary station: SALT LAKE CITY E BENCH (USC00427655). 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 Salt Lake City E Bench; 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 Salt Lake City E Bench comes from its primary NOAA station record. No figure on this page is typed in by an editor - each value is rendered from NOAA 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals.
