Midvale, UT 84047 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Midvale, UT?

Zone 7b

Around 05/03 is the usual last spring frost, about 248 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/12, about 159 frost-free days later.

Midvale sits in USDA Zone 7b (5 to 10°F average annual minimum). The dates above are NOAA's 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting station, a 30-year average, not a forecast.

What to do before the first frost

About 6 weeks of growing season left in Midvale before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 05/03 isn't a guarantee

05/03 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 04/18 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 05/26 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
