Climate Chart of Carson City, USA

Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperatures reach their highest point in July, at 25.0 °C, and their lowest in December, at 1.4 °C. These are averages for each month, not daytime highs or lows, so conditions on individual days can differ. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of monthly mean temperatures is 11.8 °C. This is a summary of the monthly averages rather than a day-weighted annual temperature.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in December, at 0.97 mm/day, and lowest in June, at 0.16 mm/day. The monthly figures describe average daily amounts, not monthly totals, and the lower average does not guarantee rain-free days. The unweighted mean across the monthly daily-rainfall averages is 0.60 mm/day. It gives an overall reference point, but does not indicate how often rain falls or how rainfall is distributed across particular days.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine reaches its maximum in June, at 13.40 hours/day, and its minimum in December, at 6.84 hours/day. These sunshine-duration averages can help with planning outdoor time, but they are not measures of day length. The unweighted mean of the monthly daily-sunshine averages is 10.41 hours/day. As an average, it cannot promise the amount of sunshine on a particular day.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall is highest in January, at 11.33 mm/day. This is an average amount, not a measure of how many days receive snow, snow depth or snow cover, so it cannot establish conditions for snow-based activities. The unweighted mean across the monthly daily-snowfall averages is 3.63 mm/day. It summarizes those averages but does not describe snowfall on any individual day.
