The year, day by day
Shoup works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 93°F by July 26 and hold at or above 90°F on 33 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 148 dates, bottoming at 16°F around January 1.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 13 through August 14, covering 33 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 12 to September 29.
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 22, then returns to freezing around October 27, covering 148 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
August 1 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 38°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Shoup Stands Nationally
Day-to-night contrast is extreme by national standards — the widest normal daily swing reaches about 38°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.
Shoup earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Data-derived climate profile
How Shoup's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Shoup's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 6,791 annual heating degree days against 547 for cooling. Its 48.3°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Shoup's frost-free season lasts about 158 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 Shoup's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 48.3°F. The annual average is 48°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Shoup'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 Shoup'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 Shoup, 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 Shoup's primary station: SHOUP (USC00108395). 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 Shoup; 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 Shoup 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.
