The year, day by day
The year in Tucson Camp Ave Exp runs from a mild 36°F around December 21 to 103°F at the peak near June 25, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from May 10 through October 9, covering 153 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs February 7 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 36°F around December 21.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is August 9, when 25% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is April 29 at 3%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 41 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 10 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 36°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Tucson Camp Ave Exp Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 153 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
Aridity defines the water calendar: about 12 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.
Tucson Camp Ave Exp earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Tucson Camp Ave Exp runs a summer-peaked wet season
45% of Tucson Camp Ave Exp's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is August at 2.6", on a 36.1°F seasonal spread. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: August, July, January, taking 52% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: May at 0.1".
- Winter share: 26% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
How Tucson Camp Ave Exp's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 40 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 11.7" between them, or roughly 0.29 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.
Tucson Camp Ave Exp'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 Tucson Camp Ave Exp's limited precipitation lands
cooling led · dry · mid swing
Air-conditioning demand is the clearest thermal signal here. Tucson Camp Ave Exp accumulates 3,191 cooling degree days, more than twice its 1,463 heating total; the monthly table shows when that imbalance builds rather than treating it as a year-round condition.
Heat demand sits beside limited local precipitation: Tucson Camp Ave Exp receives 11.7 inches in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's dry range. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. Month-level precipitation is the useful check on when that small annual total arrives.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Tucson Camp Ave Exp's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 36.1°F. The annual average is 70°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Tucson Camp Ave Exp has a long frost-free window of roughly 280 days, but the dry annual profile is a separate constraint. Growing-season length says when freezes are unlikely, not whether rainfall is sufficient.

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 Tucson Camp Ave Exp; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
