When is the last frost in USDA Zone 10B?

In Zone 10B, about 1 winter in 9 reaches 32°F. In those winters, the average last spring frost in Zone 10B is January 11 (range December 19 to February 10). Data from NOAA 1991–2020 Climate Normals aggregated across USDA Zone 10B.

When is the first fall frost in Zone 10B?

In winters that reach 32°F, the average first fall frost in Zone 10B is January 4, with a range from Dec 14 to Feb 3. Aggregated across the same NOAA stations as the spring figure.

How long is the growing season in Zone 10B?

The frost-free growing season in Zone 10B runs from approximately January 11 to January 4 of the following year, a span of about 363 days.

When should I start seeds indoors in Zone 10B?

In Zone 10B, start tomatoes and peppers indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date of January 11. That means starting seeds in mid-winter to early spring depending on your specific transplant targets.

USDA Zone 10B

Zone 10B Planting Calendar — January 11 to January 4

Zone 10b reaches 32°F in only about 1 winter in 9, so frost is an occasional event to cover plants for rather than a date to plan around. Growing runs year-round and the real constraints are heat and water. The zone spans two very different climates — Mediterranean southern California, dry all summer, and south Florida, wet all summer — so local rainfall patterns matter more than the zone number.

Zone 10B at a glance: Most winters bring no frost: about 1 winter in 9 reaches 32°F. In the winters that do, the last frost averages January 11 (range December 19 to February 10) and the first fall frost averages January 4. Start warm-season crops indoors 6–10 weeks before last frost; transplant after January 11.

NOAA Frost Probability for Zone 10B

Computed across 473 ZIP codes in Zone 10B · Composite generated Aug 12, 2026 | NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 Climate Normals (released 2021) | Threshold: minimum temperature at or below 32°F (NCEI element TMIN-PRBLST-T32F) — some crops are damaged above 32°F too, depending on duration, humidity, wind, and crop sensitivity

In Zone 10B, about 1 winter in 9 reaches 32°F. In those winters, the last spring frost most likely lands on January 11. There's a 10% chance it could happen as late as February 10, and a 10% chance it's already done by December 19. These probabilities come from NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals, weighted across every NOAA station serving the 473 ZIP codes in Zone 10B.

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 10B, 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 10B specifically, this composite was aggregated across 473 contributing ZIP codes (of 751 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 19) — 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 11) — the median. Half of historical years had their last frost on or before this date. This is the “Typical” reference.
P90 (Feb 10) — 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 10B 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 10B

Data current as of Aug 12, 2026

In Zone 10B, about 1 winter in 9 reaches 32°F. In those winters, the first fall frost most likely arrives on January 4, 2027. There's a 10% chance it comes as early as December 14, and a 10% chance it holds off until February 3. These probabilities come from NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals, weighted across every NOAA station serving the 473 ZIP codes in Zone 10B.

Planning ahead

The typical first fall frost is around January 4 in Zone 10B, somewhere between December 14 and February 3. 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 10B Growing Tips

Average last spring frost is January 11 and first fall frost is January 4 — these are the anchor dates your entire planting schedule is built around.
Inland heat waves are the main stress. Coastal sites stay mild while sites a few miles inland run much hotter.
A Mediterranean pattern: nearly all rain falls November through March, and summer is reliably dry. Irrigation is the limiting factor from May to October. Note that Zone 10b also covers parts of south Florida, where the pattern is the opposite — summer-wet.
Disease pressure in this zone is low-moderate. Primary risks include powdery mildew, downy mildew. 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 December 1 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 473 ZIP codes in Zone 10B. 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.
