July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. Because these figures are thirty-year averages rather than any single year's readings, they describe the typical month, not a forecast for it.

Utah Test Range averages 11.0 inches of precipitation a year, with 12.9 inches typically falling as snow, and that matters as much to daily life here as temperature does. The frost-free season averages 140 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near May 15 and the first fall freeze near October 2. As for energy demand, 6,406 heating degree days and 884 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Utah Test Range scores 54/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat at the peak of summer, and December-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
