Inversions are the real disruption risk.

Summers are hot and dry (32–38°C) with low humidity and good flying weather. Afternoon thunderstorms occur in July and August but are brief. Spring is windy. The Great Salt Lake creates localized weather effects including lake-effect snow on the north side of the Wasatch.

Check current weather forecasts before travel.
