Hottest and mildest years
By count of 100°F days, the hottest years in the record were 2020 (144 days), 2001 (133 days), 2018 (128 days), and the mildest were 1998 (91 days), 2023 (92 days), 2016 (95 days). Years with gaps in the daily record can undercount, so the extremes should be read with care.
What does this mean for a visit?
The figures explain Borrego’s season. From November through March, mean highs sit between about 69°F and 79°F, ideal for hiking, golf and the hot tub. April and October are warm, with highs from the mid-80s to about 90°F. From June through September, mean highs top 100°F and nights stay warm, so outdoor activity shrinks to early mornings.

How was the dataset built?
Daily maximum and minimum temperature (TMAX, TMIN) and precipitation (PRCP) for station USC00040983 were taken from NOAA’s Global Historical Climatology Network daily data service[1][2]. Values with a quality-control flag were removed. For each month the file gives the number of days with a maximum reading, mean high and low, counts of days at or above 100°F and 110°F, nights at or below 32°F, and total precipitation. The file is published as borrego-desert-park-monthly-climate-1996-2025.csv under CC BY 4.0.
What are the limits?
One station describes one spot. The park station is close to the village and to De Anza Country Club but not at the house. Cooperative stations are read by observers and have occasional gaps. Monthly precipitation in the desert is dominated by a few storms, so averages hide large swings between years. The data says nothing about the rental itself.
