Winters are long: the Fallon Naas station averages 139 nights a year at or below 32°F and 46 at or below 20°F.^2,3 Long winters put freeze-thaw, ice dams and snow load at the center of roofing and masonry decisions. Summers are hot: about 82 days a year reach 90°F and 15 reach 100°F.^2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies.

The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 5 inches.^2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Heating dominates the year: about 5,088 heating degree days against 1,004 cooling degree days (base 65°F).^2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope.
