Cedar City at a glance
Heating and cooling climate
NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals for the CEDAR CITY, UT station show about 5,742 heating degree days and 804 cooling degree days in a typical year, with about 140 nights at or below freezing and 27 days reaching 90°F or more. Heating demand is far larger than cooling demand here, so the furnace, boiler or heat pump carries most of the load and a breakdown in a cold snap is the most pressing kind of call.
