How this page was made
Every date above is computed from the NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals at Las Vegas Air Terminal: the 30-year mean dates of last spring and first fall frost, with crop offsets from standard horticultural practice. Full method and crop sources: data and methodology. These are planning averages, not forecasts: half of years frost later than the mean, so harden off transplants and watch the local forecast at the shoulders of the season.
