The year, day by day
The year in Tracy Carbona runs from a mild 36°F around January 1 to 94°F at the peak near July 14, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 21 through September 10, covering 82 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 29 to November 8.
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 36°F around January 1.
The widest day
July 14 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 37°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Tracy Carbona Stands Nationally
Day-to-night contrast is extreme by national standards — the widest normal daily swing reaches about 37°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.
Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 82 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.
Tracy Carbona earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Tracy Carbona's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 57% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 1%. That is the cool-season-dominant pattern of the West Coast and the higher inland West, where storm tracks swing south in winter and summer turns dry; the thermometer meanwhile shows an unusually narrow 28.5°F seasonal spread.

Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A cool-season label means the December-February share reaches 35%. Where snow falls, the monthly figures above report liquid-equivalent precipitation, so a wet winter month is not necessarily a rainy one.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Tracy Carbona's limited precipitation lands
heating led · dry · low swing
Heating is the larger measured load in Tracy Carbona, at 2,583 degree days versus 1,129 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 28.5°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.
Tracy Carbona has a long frost-free window of roughly 274 days, but the dry annual profile is a separate constraint. Growing-season length says when freezes are unlikely, not whether rainfall is sufficient.
The calendar stays thermally compact and dry. July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar, only 28.5°F apart, while the annual precipitation total remains below PlainClimate's dry threshold. The annual average is 61°F. The monthly rows show whether that limited precipitation is spread through the year or concentrated in a shorter interval.
Tracy Carbona's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 12.7 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Tracy Carbona's primary station: TRACY CARBONA (USC00048999). 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 Tracy Carbona; 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 Tracy Carbona comes from its primary NOAA station record.
