the state of Utah. Saint George is located in Washington County in the

Vegas is located less than 200 kilometers from Saint George. The city
was founded during the second part of the 19th century by Mormon
pioneers. Nowadays Saint George is often used as a starting point to

the St. George Utah Temple. This church was built by the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, also known as the Mormons. Saint

southwestern part of the state temperatures here are higher than in
the more northerly located cities in Utah. Average annual temperatures
are just above 16 degrees Celsius (61 degrees Fahrenheit) which is
just too low to classify the climate as a warm steppe climate. summers

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
