Regional context

Ogden's climate, from NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 station normals, pairs 26°F Januarys with 79°F Julys — a 53°F swing. About 20.1 inches of precipitation falls over roughly 139 days a year.

Ogden's moisture rides winter storm tracks: March brings 2.5 inches over 16.1 wet days, while June sees only 0.6 inches across 5.8 days in the dry warm season. That groups Ogden with places like South Ogden, UT, Harrisville, UT and Washington Terrace, UT on the same cool-season storm track.

Ogden's growing window opens around mid-April, once Ogden's overnight lows stop freezing — sow kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips. Hold Ogden's tender crops — tomatoes, peppers, basil — until 10-14 days past Ogden's last frost. Ogden's window closes around mid-November as overnight lows return below freezing. In Ogden, low spots run 4-7°F colder than nearby slopes, nudging Ogden's frost dates a week.
