When the heat sits

Normal highs reach 90°F from June 22 through September 11, covering 82 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 2 to November 5.

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 40°F around January 1.

Where the wet dates fall

The likeliest wet date is January 6, when 41% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 24 at 0%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 61 wet dates a year.

The widest day

July 12 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 32°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Tracy Pumping Plt Stands Nationally

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.

A drier-than-most normal water year — around 12 inches, below what four out of five ranked stations collect.

Tracy Pumping Plt earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Tracy Pumping Plt's wet season runs through the cold months

December, January and February carry 58% 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 29.2°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.

How Tracy Pumping Plt's precipitation splits across the calendar

About 61 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 12.4" between them, or roughly 0.20 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.

A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.

Tracy Pumping Plt's record shows no measurable snowfall

This station measured snowfall across the 1991-2020 period and recorded none: the annual normal is 0.0 inches. That is a measured zero rather than missing data, which is a meaningful distinction here , most stations in the database simply do not report snow at all, and those pages say nothing about it.

A thirty-year normal of zero describes the typical year at this station. It is not a claim that snow has never fallen in the area.

Scarce-water calendar

Where Tracy Pumping Plt's limited precipitation lands

mixed demand · dry · low swing

Local precipitation is sparse in this otherwise mixed profile. The station reports 12.4 inches annually, within PlainClimate's dry band. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. The monthly distribution matters because the total alone does not reveal the timing.

The calendar stays thermally compact and dry. July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar, only 29.2°F apart, while the annual precipitation total remains below PlainClimate's dry threshold. The annual average is 64°F. The monthly rows show whether that limited precipitation is spread through the year or concentrated in a shorter interval.

Tracy Pumping Plt combines a compact 29.2°F annual temperature range with meaningful demand on both sides of the thermostat: 2,127 heating and 1,598 cooling degree days. The balance matters more here than either annual total in isolation.

Tracy Pumping Plt has a long frost-free window of roughly 325 days, but the dry annual profile is a separate constraint. Growing-season length says when freezes are unlikely, not whether rainfall is sufficient.

Questions about Tracy Pumping Plt's climate

How dry is Tracy Pumping Plt?
Tracy Pumping Plt receives 12.4 inches of precipitation a year, spread across roughly 61 days that record any measurable amount. For reference, the contiguous United States averages near 30 inches. Based on NOAA 30-year climate normals (1991-2020).
How many days above 90°F does Tracy Pumping Plt get?
Tracy Pumping Plt averages about 82 days a year at or above 90°F, concentrated in July and the months either side of it. That is a count of days reaching the threshold, not a measure of how far above it they go.
How much energy does heating and cooling require in Tracy Pumping Plt?
Tracy Pumping Plt has 2,127 heating degree days and 1,598 cooling degree days annually, a fairly balanced heating/cooling split. Degree-day definitions: reading weather data.

Data Sources

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Tracy Pumping Plt's primary station: TRACY PUMPING PLT (USC00049001). 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 Pumping Plt; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
