It typically experiences hot summers with variable humidity and cold winters. Due to its geographic location at a climatic boundary, severe weather is common, with tornadoes a major threat, especially in the spring and early summer months. [38] On average, January is the coldest month, and July is both the hottest and wettest month. [39]

In temperate areas, some microbats migrate hundreds of kilometres to winter hibernation dens; [144] others pass into torpor in cold weather, rousing and feeding when warm weather allows insects to be active. [145] Others retreat to caves for winter and hibernate for as much as six months. [145]
Utah's temperatures are extreme, with cold temperatures in winter due to its elevation, and very hot summers statewide (except mountain areas and high mountain valleys). Utah is usually protected from major blasts of cold air by mountains lying north and east of the state, although major Arctic blasts can occasionally reach the state.
