Not what a typical year looks like, but how the typical year has changed. Each stripe is one complete year’s average temperature at the station, 1918 to 2025, colored against the mean of those years: blue for cooler years, red for warmer ones. The figure under the stripes is the least-squares trend line fitted to 1981–2025, the most recent stretch of the record without a gap longer than 10 years — Provo averages about 4.1°F warmer by that trend than in 1981.

Frequently asked

What is the hottest month in Provo?
July is Provo's hottest month, with the highest average daily high of the year. The month-by-month table above shows Provo's exact average high and low for each month, based on the 1991–2020 climate normals — the standard 30-year reference period meteorologists use.
What is the coldest month in Provo?
January is Provo's coldest month, with the lowest average daily low of the year. The averages-by-month chart above gives the exact average high and low for every month, so you can see how cold a typical winter day runs.
How much does it rain in Provo?
Provo's total annual precipitation and its wettest and driest months are shown in the rainfall-by-month section above. Those figures are 1991–2020 normals — the average monthly precipitation total across that 30-year window — so they reflect a typical year rather than any single wet or dry season.
What months are best to visit Provo?
The most comfortable months in Provo are usually the shoulder seasons — spring and fall — when temperatures sit between the summer peak and winter low and rainfall is moderate. Compare the average high, low, and precipitation for each month in the table above to pick the window that fits the weather you want.
Has Provo gotten hotter?
Yes. The warming-stripes chart above plots Provo's annual mean temperature for every complete year of station data from 1918 to 2025, and the trend line fitted to 1981–2025 (the most recent stretch without a gap longer than 10 years) rises about 4.1°F (+0.93°F per decade) — recent decades average warmer than the start of that window.
What is the record high temperature in Provo?
Provo's all-time record high — the hottest single day in the station record — is shown in the records section above, along with the date it occurred. Records are drawn from the nearest long-term weather station's full daily history, which begins in 1916, so they capture the most extreme heat on record, not just a typical summer day.
What is the record low temperature in Provo?
Provo's all-time record low and the date it was set appear in the records section above. Like the record high, it comes from the station's full daily history back to 1916, so it reflects the coldest day on record rather than an average winter low.
