The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 85°F around July 18, short of 90°F on every date, while 156 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 22°F near December 20.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 11, then returns to freezing around November 8, covering 156 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 26 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 32°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Average monthly rainfall
Verdi's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 50% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 5%. 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 a 36.4°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- December, 4.8"
- Driest month
- September, 0.3"
- Wettest three months
- December, February, January (50% of the year)
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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Verdi's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Verdi's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 6,084 annual heating degree days against 342 for cooling. Its 36.4°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Verdi's frost-free season lasts about 161 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 Verdi's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 36.4°F. The annual average is 49°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Verdi's 25.7 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 Verdi'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 Verdi, 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 Verdi's primary station: VERDI 2W (USC00049298). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The 2024 Census Gazetteer identifies the exact name-and-state match as a census-designated place (GEOID 0682334), not an incorporated municipality. Match rule for Verdi: exact normalized name + state only, no fuzzy expansion, so nearby differently spelled facilities stay unmatched.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Verdi comes from its primary NOAA station record.
