The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 89°F around July 25, short of 90°F on every date, while 133 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 21°F near December 22.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 21, then returns to freezing around November 10, covering 133 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 3 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 29°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Average monthly rainfall
Timpanogos Cave spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 14% of the annual total and December through February 28%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Timpanogos Cave has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 46.2°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 3.4" and July 1.1". The three wettest months together take 35% of the year, against the 25% a perfectly flat distribution would give them.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. "Spread across the year" means neither the June-August nor the December-February share reaches 35%; it describes an average year, not the variability of any single one.

Data-derived climate profile
How Timpanogos Cave's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Timpanogos Cave's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 6,466 annual heating degree days against 675 for cooling. Its 46.2°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Timpanogos Cave's frost-free season lasts about 167 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Timpanogos Cave's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 46.2°F. The annual average is 49°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Timpanogos Cave's 28.0 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Timpanogos Cave'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 Timpanogos Cave, 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 Timpanogos Cave's primary station: TIMPANOGOS CAVE (USC00428733). 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 Timpanogos Cave; 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 Timpanogos Cave comes from its primary NOAA station record.
