Climate Insight: Wadsworth, NV
An annual average temperature of 53°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 69°F to a mean daily low of 36°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Wadsworth, Nevada. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00268838 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Wadsworth averages an uncharted amount of precipitation a year, predominantly as rainfall, and that matters as much to daily life here as temperature does. The frost-free season averages 145 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near May 9 and the first fall freeze near October 1. As for energy demand, 5,366 heating degree days and 834 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Wadsworth scores 49/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows in the monthly tables above, summer brings July-driven heat, and winter brings December-driven cold - use that rhythm for planning. These figures are thirty-year averages rather than forecasts, so a specific year may still run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than what's shown.
