The year, day by day
The year in Salt Point runs from a mild 45°F around January 7 to 91°F at the peak near August 9, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 8 through September 2, covering 57 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 12 to November 21.
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.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 45°F around January 7.
The widest day
November 10 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 19°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Salt Point's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Salt Point. Cooling totals 3,040 degree days, more than double the 1,232 heating measure, and the 30.0°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Salt Point's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
Temperature varies within a narrow 30.0°F band across the normal year. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 70°F. Monthly rows still matter, but they refine a steady profile rather than reveal two climatic extremes.
The frost-free window extends for about 327 days. That is a long calendar measure, but it is not a forecast and does not combine heat, rainfall, soil, or local elevation into a planting recommendation.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Salt Point's primary station, so the summer figures are a thirty-year average rather than a ceiling: individual years have run hotter and will again. For Salt Point that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Salt Point's primary station: SALT POINT (USW00012968). 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 Point; 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 Point 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.
