Wah Wah Rch's normals sit in a dry climate class: BWk
Annual precipitation falls well below the aridity threshold for this temperature regime, so the normals classify as cold desert (BWk). Class BWk is the Peel et al. (2007) label for this station's monthly mean temperature and precipitation normals: dry (arid or semi-arid), specifically cold desert.

The year, day by day
Wah Wah Rch works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 97°F by July 22 and hold at or above 90°F on 76 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 190 dates, bottoming at 12°F around January 1.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 17 through August 31, covering 76 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 27 to October 21.
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.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 23, then returns to freezing around October 17, covering 190 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.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is August 20, when 15% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is June 26 at 6%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 36 wet dates a year.
The widest day
June 13 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 41°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Wah Wah Rch Stands Nationally
Aridity defines the water calendar: about 6 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.
Day-to-night contrast is extreme by national standards — the widest normal daily swing reaches about 41°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.
Wah Wah Rch earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Wah Wah Rch spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 26% of the annual total and December through February 19%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Wah Wah Rch has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 47.2°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: October averages 1.0" and December 0.4". The three wettest months together take 38% of the year, against the 25% a perfectly flat distribution would give them.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. "Spread across the year" means neither the June-August nor the December-February share reaches 35%; it describes an average year, not the variability of any single one.
Wah Wah Rch is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 35 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 10% of the calendar, and they carry 6.4" between them. At roughly 0.18 inches on an average wet day, this is not the damp drizzle of a marine climate; it is an arid record in which precipitation is both uncommon and light when it appears.
The wettest month by count is August at about 4 wet days; the driest is November at about 2.
A low per-event average in a dry record is a statement about typical days only. Arid regions can still take a large share of a year's total from a single convective storm, which a normal cannot show.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, not the extremes within it.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Wah Wah Rch's limited precipitation lands
heating led · dry · mid swing
Wah Wah Rch's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,700 annual heating degree days against 922 for cooling. Its 47.2°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 133 days are frost-free in a normal year. That short interval is consistent with the cold-season signal, but the measure does not predict the exact first or last freeze in any one year.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Wah Wah Rch's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 47.2°F. The annual average is 52°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Wah Wah Rch's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 6.4 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.

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 Wah Wah Rch; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Wah Wah Rch comes from its primary NOAA station record.
