However, regardless of the season Utah's climate is temperate, but you should come prepared for extremes - especially if you plan on spending time in the outdoors. Daytime temperatures for Utah's northern metropolitan areas range from 3 °C in January to 34 °C in July. In Southwestern Utah, St George's temperatures are usually at least 2-3 °C warmer year-round.
