The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 77°F around July 14, short of 90°F on every date, while 183 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 4°F near February 1.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 25, then returns to freezing around October 26, covering 183 dates in all.
Derived from the normal daily minimum. This is a different measure from the 50%-probability frost dates shown elsewhere on this page, which come from NOAA’s frost product.
The widest day
May 22 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 24°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Alberta Ford For Ctr Stands Nationally
Freezing is routine here by normals standards — the normal low reaches 32°F or colder on about 183 nights a year, more than most ranked stations.
Alberta Ford For Ctr earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Alberta Ford For Ctr spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 32% of the annual total and December through February 17%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Alberta Ford For Ctr has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 52.5°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: July averages 4.1" and March 1.6". The three wettest months together take 34% of the year, against the 25% a perfectly flat distribution would give them.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. "Spread across the year" means neither the June-August nor the December-February share reaches 35%; it describes an average year, not the variability of any single one.

Data-derived climate profile
How Alberta Ford For Ctr's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Alberta Ford For Ctr's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 9,046 annual heating degree days against 291 for cooling. Its 52.5°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 131 days are frost-free in a normal year. That short interval is consistent with the cold-season signal, but the measure does not predict the exact first or last freeze in any one year.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Alberta Ford For Ctr's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 52.5°F. The annual average is 41°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alberta Ford For Ctr's 33.2 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Alberta Ford For Ctr's primary station, so the winter figures are a thirty-year average and not a floor: a single hard season can run well below them. Treat each band as a descriptive range for Alberta Ford For Ctr, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Alberta Ford For Ctr's primary station: ALBERTA FORD FOR CTR (USC00200089). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The conservative exact name-and-state crosswalk finds no Census place match, so PlainClimate treats this as a station-mapped location and does not claim it is a municipality. No exact Gazetteer row for Alberta Ford For Ctr; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Alberta Ford For Ctr comes from its primary NOAA station record.
