75° on Nov. 14, 2025, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1962. Next is 68° in 2020.
Kaysville’s center stands about 4,360 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 4,200 ft to 6,300 ft, a difference of 2,100 ft: mountain country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Thurston Peak, about 9,650 ft, 6 miles northeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Alluvium and colluvium (unconsolidated), from the Quaternary, less than 2.6 million years old.
The section below crosses 7 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 4×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Unconsolidated. Age: Quaternary, less than 2.6 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Metamorphic. Age: Neoarchean to Paleoproterozoic, 1.6 to 2.8 billion years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Andesite. Age: Late Eocene to Oligocene, 23 to 38 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Peat. Age: Holocene, less than 12,000 years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Clay. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.
Mudstone, conglomerate. Age: Late Paleocene to Early Eocene, 48 to 59 million years old. About 0.9 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale. 1 smaller unit along the line are not listed.

Kaysville has a dry-summer hot-summer continental climate. Summer afternoons average 92° in July; winter nights fall to about 20° in January. A normal year brings about 23 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 26 inches of water.
