All average annual temperatures are compiled from weather data collected from 1981 to 2010 and reported on Current Results. In the event of a tie for the coldest or warmest city in a particular ...
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.
May 2003 also set a record high May temperature of 99 °F (37 °C) on two consecutive days. July 2002 also saw a record-tying high temperature of 107 °F (42 °C), while July 2003 saw a record high minimum temperature (80 °F (27 °C)) and a record streak of 100 degree weather (July contributed 10 of that summer's 24 days over 100 degrees).

Another analysis found that Utah's temperature increase from 1970 to 2019 was the fifth highest in the nation, leading to an increasing intensity of wildfires. [2] A changing climate was also reported as leading to increased flooding in Utah during winter months, followed by hot and dry summers, a cycle potentially harmful for agriculture. [3]
