Heating and cooling a home in Stateline
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Stateline, 100% of that work is heating and 0% 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.
Stateline and its neighbors
Stateline borders 3 towns with climate data. January nights across them vary by 1.9°. South Lake Tahoe has both the coldest January nights (22°) and the hottest July afternoons (81°). Stateline’s January low is 24° and its July high 80°.
Temperatures and rain come from NOAA’s 5 km grid, so each town gets its own value.

Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Tahoe City, CA (17 mi, snow) and South Lake Tahoe Airport, CA (6 mi, frost, heat and degree days). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast. Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals, 1991–2020 and 1901–2000.
