USDA Zone 10A
Zone 10A Planting Calendar — January 18 to December 31
Zone 10a freezes in about half of winters, briefly, and the growing calendar is effectively reversed — the productive season runs October through May, and summer is the off-season. Heat, humidity and disease pressure make June through August the hardest months rather than the easiest. Cool-season crops are winter crops here.
Zone 10A at a glance: Frost doesn't come every winter here: about 1 winter in 2 reaches 32°F. In winters that freeze, the last frost averages January 18 (range December 24 to February 17) and the first fall frost averages December 31. Start warm-season crops indoors 6–10 weeks before last frost; transplant after January 18.

NOAA Frost Probability for Zone 10A
In Zone 10A, about 1 winter in 2 reaches 32°F. In those winters, the last spring frost most likely lands on January 18. There's a 10% chance it could happen as late as February 17, and a 10% chance it's already done by December 24. These probabilities come from NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals, weighted across every NOAA station serving the 792 ZIP codes in Zone 10A.

How we calculate this
NOAA provides station-level Climate Normals. NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) records daily minimum temperatures at thousands of U.S. weather stations and publishes, for each station, the probability that the last spring frost has occurred by each calendar date — based on 30 years of observations (1991–2020). These per-station probability percentiles are the primary data.
SoilStack aggregates those station-level normals into a per-USDA-zone composite. For each ZIP code in Zone 10A, we identify nearby NOAA stations, weight each station's contribution by inverse-distance squared to the ZIP centroid, build a per-ZIP composite from those weighted station percentiles, and then aggregate every per-ZIP composite in the zone into a single zone-level composite using a weighted circular mean for dates and a weighted arithmetic mean for numeric values like growing-season length.
For Zone 10A specifically, this composite was aggregated across 792 contributing ZIP codes (of 1,234 total ZIP codes assigned to this zone in the USDA 2023 Plant Hardiness Zone Map).

How to read this chart
The curve shows the cumulative probability that the last spring frost has occurred by each date. It rises from 0% (no chance frost is done that early) to 100% (essentially certain frost has occurred by that late date).
Three reference points are highlighted:
- P10 (Dec 24) — the earliest date by which there’s a 10% chance the last frost is already done. Gardeners willing to take risk on early planting anchor decisions here.
- P50 (Jan 18) — the median. Half of historical years had their last frost on or before this date. This is the “Typical” reference.
- P90 (Feb 17) — the date by which there’s a 90% chance frost is done. Risk-averse gardeners planting frost-sensitive crops use this date as their go-ahead signal.
For most warm-season crops (tomatoes, peppers, basil, beans), waiting until the P50 to P90 window is the conservative call. Hardier crops can go in around P10.
The typical last-frost line. The P50 marker is the climate-normal center — the median last-frost date from 30 years of NOAA data. If you enter your ZIP and a freeze is within the 7-day National Weather Service window, a separate marker shows that forecast freeze for your location. A forecast freeze is not necessarily the season’s last: later freezes remain possible.
Limitations
Climate normals plus a short-range forecast blend. The probability curve reflects the climatological baseline from 1991–2020: what’s likely in a typical year. The optional freeze outlook adds the live NWS forecast for your ZIP when a freeze is within about 7 days, the range where a genuine point forecast exists. Without a ZIP, or beyond that horizon, the chart stays on the climate normal, because no forecast can reliably see further out. An early warm spell does not move the estimate earlier on its own, since last frost dates do not reliably track spring warmth.
Microclimate variation. A zone composite represents the weighted average across hundreds of stations. Your specific ZIP may run several days warmer or cooler than the zone average due to elevation, water proximity, urban heat island, or local topography.
Station density. Zone 10A has dense NOAA station coverage. Some zones with sparser ZIP-level coverage (Alaska, parts of the desert Southwest) rely on fewer mapped ZIPs and should be interpreted with slightly more caution.
Data refresh cycle. NOAA releases new Climate Normals on a 10-year cycle. The current 1991–2020 dataset will be superseded by the 2001–2030 release expected in 2031.

First Fall Frost for Zone 10A
Data current as of Aug 12, 2026
In Zone 10A, about 1 winter in 2 reaches 32°F. In those winters, the first fall frost most likely arrives on December 31, 2026. There's a 10% chance it comes as early as December 10, and a 10% chance it holds off until January 30. These probabilities come from NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals, weighted across every NOAA station serving the 792 ZIP codes in Zone 10A.

Planning ahead
The typical first fall frost is around December 31 in Zone 10A, somewhere between December 10 and January 30. That is the climate-normal center from 30 years of NOAA data. Enter your ZIP above for a forecast tied to your location when a freeze is within the 7-day window.

Zone 10A Growing Tips
- Average last spring frost is January 18 and first fall frost is December 31 — these are the anchor dates your entire planting schedule is built around.
- Summer is the OFF-SEASON. Heat, humidity and disease pressure make June through August the hardest months to grow in, not the easiest.
- A pronounced wet season runs June through September with near-daily afternoon storms. The dry season is autumn through spring, which is also the main growing season.
- Disease pressure in this zone is high. Primary risks include downy mildew, bacterial spot, early blight. Proper plant spacing, air circulation, and avoiding overhead watering significantly reduce disease incidence.
- Fall cool-season crops (lettuce, spinach, kale, radishes) should go in the ground between September 1 and November 15 for harvest before hard frost arrives.

Frost dates from NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals
(dataset gov.noaa.ncdc:C01619; methodology Palecki et al. 2021),
aggregated across 792 ZIP codes
in Zone 10A.
First fall frost is aggregated the same way as spring, from NOAA element ANN-TMIN-PRBFST-T32F. Growing season is NOAA's own published normal (ANN-TMIN-PRBGSL-T32F), measured per year and then averaged — not the gap between the two dates above, which is a slightly different quantity.
Planting dates are averages based on zone frost dates and standard horticultural timing — adjust for your local microclimate.
