The average last spring frost in Pineview Dam is around May 22, based on 1991–2020 climate normals. That's a median — about half of years see a later frost, so tender crops are safest going out a week or two after this date.

When is the first frost in Pineview Dam, UT?

How long is the growing season in Pineview Dam?

About 127 frost-free days on average, from May 22 to Sep 26. That favors short-season varieties and transplants for warm-season crops, with cool-season vegetables doing the heavy lifting in spring and fall.
