- Climate_of_Salt_Lake_City abstract "The climate of Salt Lake City is widely variable. The city lies in the Salt Lake Valley, surrounded by mountains and the Great Salt Lake.The climate of the Salt Lake City area is characterized as subhumid but not semi-arid as often claimed. Under the Köppen climate classification, Salt Lake City has a dry-summer continental climate (Dsa), a relatively rare form of the continental climate where a region experiences dry summers and wet winters.In Köppen climate classification, when the precipitation is more or less distributed throughout the year, if the quotient [mean annual precipitation (in cm)] / [mean annual temperature (in °C) + 7] is between 1 and 2, the climate is considered semi-arid. About 43% of the annual precipitation is in the warmest 6 months (so 57% in the coldest 6 months) in the Salt Lake City airport therefore the precipitation is more or less distributed throughout the year. The mean annual precipitation is exactly equal to 40.89 cm while the annual mean temperature is around 11.2 °C so the Salt Lake City airport Köppen quotient is equal to about 2.25 which is clearly superior to the Köppen semi-arid limit of 2. Therefore the Salt Lake City airport climate is not semi-arid.The city has four distinct seasons, with a cold, snowy winter, a hot, dry summer, and comfortable, relatively wet transition periods. The Pacific Ocean is the primary influence on the weather, contributing storms from about October to May, with spring being the wettest season. Snow falls frequently during the winter, contributed largely by the lake-effect from the Great Salt Lake. The only source of precipitation in the summer is monsoon moisture moving north from the Gulf of California. Summers are hot, frequently reaching above 100°F (38°C), while winters are cold and snowy. However, winters are warmer than one would expect at this elevation and latitude, due to the Rocky Mountains to the east and north that usually block powerful polar highs from affecting the state during the winter. Temperatures rarely fall below 0°F (-18 °C), but frequently stay below freezing. Temperature inversions during winter can lead to thick overnight fog and daytime haze in the valley as cool air, moisture, and pollutants are trapped in the valley by surrounding mountains.".
