“Wet days” have at least 0.01" of rain or melted snow. “Snow on ground” counts days with 1" or more. The 30-year range is the coldest and warmest that month’s average temperature got between 1991 and 2020.
Rain and snow in Hurricane
Hurricane gets 11 inches of rain and melted snow a year. February is the wettest month and June the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 52 days a year.
About 217 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by April 1 and the first one by November 5. That leaves about 217 frost-free days for gardens, longer than 81% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in Hurricane
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Hurricane, 64% of that work is heating and 36% is cooling.
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.
Hurricane and its neighbors
Hurricane borders 2 towns with climate data. January nights across them vary by 2.9°. La Verkin has the coldest January nights (29°) and Washington the hottest July afternoons (102°). Hurricane’s January low is 31° and its July high 101°.
Temperatures and rain come from NOAA’s 5 km grid, so each town gets its own value.
How Hurricane compares
Compared with every U.S. town and city on TownTapestry, each counted once.
Warmer than it used to be
The last 30 years in Hurricane averaged 1.5° warmer than the 1900s. The biggest change is in January (+2.3°). The shift is larger than in 71% of U.S. towns.

How much a month can swing
A normal is an average, and real years wander around it. May swings the most: between 1991 and 2020 its average temperature ranged from 62° to 75°. September is the most reliable, staying within 6°.

Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Hurricane itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at La Verkin, UT (6 mi) away. Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
