Climate
Cache Valley has very unpredictable and extreme weather compared to the urban centers of the Wasatch Front. Winters are very cold, with daytime temperatures rarely getting above freezing and overnight lows frequently dropping below 0F -18C. Snow is less frequent than in Salt Lake City but the individual storms are usually larger. Cache Valley also has one of the worst inversions in the state, in which cold, moist air and pollutants can become trapped in the valley. A simple five minute ride up any of the cayons will get you out of the inversion and into some of the most beautiful winter mountain landscapes in all of Utah. Spring and Fall are wild and feature frequent temperature changes with possibilities of snow as early as October and as late as May. Summer is cooler than in Salt Lake City but still hot, with daytime temperatures generally ranging from 75F 24C to 95F 35C - they rarely reach above 100F 38C. It is, however, far enough north that it avoids most of the summer thunderstorms. Although the city is cozy and the surrounding terrain is spectacular, the unpredictable weather is a turnoff for some. Others find the changing weather enjoyable and enjoy spend time outdoors taking in the many recreactional oppertunities throughout the valley and its many canyons.
