Outdoor Work Weather: Heat & Freeze Days by City

Roofers, landscapers, lineworkers and construction crews work in whatever the day brings. Here's how 387 U.S. metros compare on extreme heat, freezing nights, rain and snow, using NOAA's 30-year averages.

Only 5 metros average 10 or fewer days at 90°F and 10 or fewer freezing nights: Oxnard, Salinas, San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Santa Maria. For pay in each city, open its page, or see the best cities ranking.
