Anyone planning to live, garden, or travel in Yuma Proving Ground should weigh precipitation alongside temperature: the annual average runs 3.5 inches, with negligible snowfall. The frost-free season averages 355 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near January 4 and the first fall freeze near December 25. And on the energy front, 883 heating degree days and 4,502 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Yuma Proving Ground scores 80/100 (Excellent), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows, shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for August-driven heat, or deep winter for December-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
