Best time to visit Park City

Park City is a city of two halves. June scores 90 and December scores 19 — a 71-point swing, which is the difference between a holiday and an endurance test. The month you pick matters more here than almost anywhere. The good window runs June to September — 4 months within ten points of the best.

July is the warmest month at 28.5 °C and January the coolest at -0.9 °C — a 29.4 °C spread across the year. At the other end, 192 nights a year fall below freezing: the winter here is a real one.

There is a real wet season here. January, February, March, April and December carry the rain — up to 12 wet days in a month — while June and September drop as low as 6. That 6-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Park City, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight runs from 9.3 hours in winter to 15.1 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are June, September, August. The one to think twice about is December. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
