The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 75°F around July 17, short of 90°F on every date, while 83 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 30°F near February 7.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 23, then returns to freezing around December 5, covering 83 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 March 13, when 34% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 13 at 2%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 71 wet dates a year.
The widest day
September 8 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 17°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Yosemite Village'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 3%. 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 31.3°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- December, 7.7"
- Driest month
- August, 0.1"
- Wettest three months
- December, January, March (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.
When it rains in Yosemite Village, it arrives in quantity
40.4" of precipitation falls across only about 71 wet days here, averaging 0.57 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 71 a year, 19% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.57 inches

A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, and a per-day average is not a forecast of any individual storm.

Data-derived climate profile
How Yosemite Village's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Yosemite Village's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,919 annual heating degree days against 308 for cooling. Its 31.3°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Yosemite Village's frost-free season lasts about 173 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and February mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Yosemite Village's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 31.3°F. The annual average is 50°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Yosemite Village's 40.4 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 Yosemite Village'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 Yosemite Village, 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 Yosemite Village's primary station: YOSEMITE VILLAGE 12 W (USW00053150). For informational purposes only.
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 Yosemite Village; 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 Yosemite Village comes from its primary NOAA station record.
