What stands out about Industry’s climate
Compared with towns across the U.S., with Industry’s place in California beside it.
What a year in Industry feels like
Typical highs and lows by season and by month, from NOAA’s 30-year normals.
Frost is rare
Frost and day counts come from NOAA’s station at San Gabriel Fire Dept, CA, 10 miles from the town’s center, at about the same height.
The 2023 USDA map puts Industry’s center in zone 10a: the coldest night of a typical winter, averaged over 1991–2020, reaches about 35°. Plant labels use the zone; frost dates tell you when to plant.
Freezing nights by month
Average nights at or below 32°
90° days by month
Average days at 90° or more
About 14 inches of rain a year
February is the wettest month and August the driest. Rain falls on about 33 days a year. Snow is rare: about 0.0" in a normal year at Covina City Yard Fc387b, CA, so most winters see none.

Heating and cooling a home in Industry
43% of the work is heating, so air conditioning is the bigger bill. No month averages under 55°.
Degree days add up how far each day’s average falls below (heating) or rises above (cooling) 65° over a year. NOAA normals at San Gabriel Fire Dept, CA.
Living with Industry’s climate
What the numbers mean for a garden, a free afternoon and a bad-weather day.
Zone 10a. Frost comes about 1 winter in 7, so tender plants can often stay out through winter.
Months with highs of 62–84° and lows of 40° or more: January, February, March, April, May, June, October, November and December. 7.7 miles of trails are waiting.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industry, CA | 46° | 88° | 14" | 0.0" |
| Sierra Vista Southeast, AZ | 32° | 91° | 15" | 0.7" |

| The Dalles, OR | 31° | 88° | 15" | 5.5" |
Temperatures and rain come from NOAA’s 5 km grid, so each town gets its own value. Snow and frost-free days come from the nearest weather station, so neighbors often share them.
Warmer than it used to be
The last 30 years in Industry averaged 2.6° warmer than the 1900s. The biggest change is in January (+3.5°).
A bigger shift than in all but 54 U.S. towns.
Change by month
The two periods overlap (1991–2000 is in both), which makes the gap a little smaller than it would be between separate periods.
How Industry compares
Against 12,954 U.S. towns of 2,500 or more (one per 5 km climate cell), with Industry’s place among California’s.
