Mesquite, NV 89067 Frost Dates

89067, near Mesquite, NV: the frost window

Zone 9a

The last spring frost here typically falls around 02/26, about 182 days from today. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 11/22, roughly 268 days after the last spring frost.

Zone 9a (20 to 25°F average annual minimum) comes from the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map; the frost dates above are the 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting NOAA station for Mesquite, not a forecast for this year.

Stretching the season past the first frost

Mesquite's growing season runs out in roughly 12 weeks — a cold frame or greenhouse kit is the usual way to keep cool-weather crops going past the first frost.

Why 02/26 isn't a guarantee

02/26 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 02/04 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 03/16 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
