Climate <strong>normals <\/strong>are calculations based on 30-year monthly averages (means), often for maximum (high) and minimum (low) temperatures and total monthly precipitation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climate <strong>extremes <\/strong>are based on the <strong>period of record<\/strong>. The period of record is the extent of the time that the weather station has been in operation. For example, precipitation records for Yuma go back to 1876 and temperature records for Yuma go back to 1878. An <strong>extreme <\/strong>would be the highest, lowest, or greatest observation during the period of record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current 30-year climatological standard for climate normals runs from January 1, 1991 to December 31, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Click on this image to access Arizona weather records and climate calendars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/asu.maps.arcgis.com\/apps\/mapviewer\/index.html?webmap=632f4ee0ba6a4882aa600c35fa1745b6&amp;center=-111.791382%2C34.361576&amp;level=7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/globalfutures.asu.edu\/azclimate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2025\/08\/records.png\" class=\"img-fluid\" style=\"width:350px;height:auto\" alt=\"Southwest U.S. station climate summaries\"><\/a><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-6 mb-4\">Southwest climate summaries<\/h2>\n\n\n\nClimate summaries are available for stations in Arizona and New Mexico.
