Regional context
Manila's baseline climate, derived from NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 normals at the nearest reporting station, swings from a January mean of 24°F to a July mean of 68°F — a 44°F seasonal arc typical of the mid-latitude bands. Annual precipitation runs about 11.5 inches spread across roughly 38 days with measurable rain or snow each year.
Precipitation runs summer-dominant here: May averages 1.6 inches across 5.0 days with measurable rain, driven mostly by warm-season storms and thunderstorm activity, while January drops to just 0.5 inches across 2.0 rainy days under drier cool-season air. The warm-season-wet rhythm lines Manila up with places like Flaming Gorge, UT, Dutch John, UT and Maeser, UT, where the May-September stretch delivers the bulk of the year's precipitation.
The frost-sensitive growing window opens around mid-April, when overnight lows reliably clear freezing for cool-season crops like kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips. Heat-loving transplants like tomatoes, peppers, and squash generally hold off for another 10-14 days to clear the last spring frost risk window. The window closes around mid-November, when overnight lows resume dipping below freezing and frost-tender plants need protection or harvest. The dates above are 1991-2020 normals; in a given year either bookend can move 1-2 weeks either direction. Within Manila, low-lying parcels along drainage features typically lose 4-7°F of overnight low temperature versus the bench positions on calm clear nights, which shifts the working last-frost date by a week or more.
