The year, day by day
The year in Study Butte runs from a mild 35°F around January 1 to 101°F at the peak near June 8, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from April 17 through October 8, covering 175 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs January 31 to December 2.
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 35°F around January 1.
The widest day
March 23 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 36°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Study Butte Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 175 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 36°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.
Study Butte earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Data-derived climate profile
How Study Butte's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · mid swing
Air-conditioning demand is the clearest thermal signal here. Study Butte accumulates 3,590 cooling degree days, more than twice its 1,325 heating total; the monthly table shows when that imbalance builds rather than treating it as a year-round condition.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Study Butte's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Study Butte's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 34.8°F. The annual average is 71°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
The frost-free window extends for about 282 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 Study Butte'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 Study Butte 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 Study Butte's primary station: STUDY BUTTE (USC00418714). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The 2024 Census Gazetteer identifies the exact name-and-state match as a census-designated place (GEOID 4870688), not an incorporated municipality. Match rule for Study Butte: exact normalized name + state only, no fuzzy expansion, so nearby differently spelled facilities stay unmatched.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Study Butte comes from its primary NOAA station record.
