Lake Tahoe has a [[dry-summer continental climate]] (''Dsb'' in the [[Köppen climate classification]]), featuring warm, dry summers and cold winters with heavy snowfall. Mean annual precipitation ranges from over {{convert|55|in|mm}} for watersheds on the west side of the basin to about {{convert|26|in|mm}} near the lake on the east side of the basin. Most of the precipitation falls as snow between November and April, although rainstorms combined with rapid snowmelt account for the largest floods. There is a pronounced annual runoff of snowmelt in late spring and early summer, the timing of which varies from year to year. In some years, summertime [[North American Monsoon|monsoon]] storms from the Great Basin bring intense rainfall, especially to high elevations on the northeast side of the basin.

August is normally the warmest month at the [[Lake Tahoe Airport]] (elevation {{convert|6254|ft|m|abbr=on|disp=semicolon}}) with an average maximum of {{convert|78.7|°F|°C|abbr=on}} and an average minimum of {{convert|39.8|°F|°C|abbr=on}}. January is the coolest month with an average maximum of {{convert|41.0|°F|°C|abbr=on}} and an average minimum of {{convert|15.1|°F|°C|abbr=on}}. The all-time maximum of {{convert|99|°F|°C|abbr=on}} was recorded on July 22, 1988. The all-time minimum of {{convert|-16|°F|°C|abbr=on}} was recorded on December 9, 1972. Temperatures exceed {{convert|90|°F|°C|abbr=on}} on an average of 2.0 days annually. Minimum temperatures of {{convert|32|°F|°C|abbr=on}} or lower occur on an average of 231.8 days annually, and minimum temperatures of {{convert|0|°F|°C|abbr=on}} or lower occur on an average of 7.6 days annually. Freezing temperatures have occurred in every month of the year.<ref>{{cite web
