Rain and snow in Page
Page gets 22 inches of rain and melted snow a year. June is the wettest month and February the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 64 days a year.
About 136 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by May 10 and the first one by September 24. That leaves about 136 frost-free days for gardens, shorter than 92% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in Page
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Page, 96% of that work is heating and 4% is cooling, so the furnace matters far more than the air conditioner.
Degree days measure how far each day’s average temperature falls below or rises above 65°, added up over a year. Source: NOAA station normals.
