Syracuse, UT 84089 Frost Dates

Syracuse, UT: when does the frost end?

Zone 7a

The last spring frost here typically falls around 04/24, about 239 days from today. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/19, roughly 178 days after the last spring frost.

Syracuse sits in USDA Zone 7a (0 to 5°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.

Stretching the season past the first frost

With roughly 7 weeks until Syracuse's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

Why 04/24 isn't a guarantee

04/24 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 04/05 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 05/14 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.

Syracuse against the rest of the dataset
