Editing Kingman, Arizona (section)

===Climate===
Kingman sits on the eastern edge of the [[Mojave Desert]], but it is located in a cold [[desert climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''BWk'') due to its [[plateau]] location. Kingman's higher elevation and location between the [[Colorado Plateau]] and the [[Lower Colorado River Valley]] keeps summer high temperatures away from the extremes ({{convert|115|F|C}} or more) experienced by Phoenix and the Colorado River Valley. The higher elevation also contributes to winter cold and occasional snowfall. Summer daytime highs reach above {{convert|90|F|C}} frequently, but rarely exceed {{convert|107|F|C}}. Summertime lows usually remain between {{convert|60|and|70|F|C}}. Winter highs are generally mild, ranging from around {{convert|50|to|60|F|C}}, but winter nighttime lows often fall to freezing, with significantly lower temperatures possible, and occasional snow.

The record low temperature in Kingman was set on January 9, 1937, at {{convert|6|F|C}}, and the record high temperature occurred on July 15, 2023, at {{convert|114|°F|°C|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sistek |first=Scott |date=2023-07-28 |title=Weekend Weather Wows: Historic American heat wave by the numbers |url=https://www.foxweather.com/weather-news/weekend-weather-wows-historic-american-heat-wave-by-the-numbers |access-date=2024-05-30 |website=FOX Weather |language=en-US}}</ref> The wettest year was 1919 with {{convert|21.22|in|mm}} and the driest year was 1947 with {{convert|3.58|in|mm}}.
