The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 79°F around July 10, short of 90°F on every date, while 160 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 14°F near January 29.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 15, then returns to freezing around November 8, covering 160 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.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is January 8, when 56% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 30 at 35%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 159 wet dates a year.
The widest day
May 7 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 26°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Allegany State Park spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 30% of the annual total and December through February 21%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Allegany State Park has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 44.3°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: July averages 5.1" and February 2.5". The three wettest months together take 30% 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.
How Allegany State Park's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 159 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 46.6" between them, or roughly 0.29 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.

What Allegany State Park's climate means for you
Allegany State Park runs 46°F a year - peaking in July, coldest in January.
- Gardeners work an ordinary 150-day frost-free window; the last spring freeze usually lands near May 12, so start dates matter.
- Keeping warm is the dominant household load: 7,204 heating degree days against only 317 for cooling.

How Allegany State Park's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Allegany State Park's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,204 annual heating degree days against 317 for cooling. Its 44.3°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Allegany State Park's frost-free season lasts about 150 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Allegany State Park's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 44.3°F. The annual average is 46°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, Allegany State Park carries 46.6 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. That distinction matters because a wet annual total can arrive as rain, snow, or a mixture at different times.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Allegany State Park'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 Allegany State Park, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
The year in four calendar signals
- Warmest normal
- July
- Even at its warmest the station only averages 68°F (20°C), so no month here is hot by national standards.
- Coldest normal
- January
- Averaging 23°F (-5°C), this month sits below freezing for the month as a whole, not merely overnight.
- Rainfall rhythm
- July to February
- July is typically wettest; February is driest.
- Mild-temperature window
- May through September
- Monthly means sit between 55°F and 75°F in this window. Freezing days are still reported from January through December.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Allegany State Park's primary station: ALLEGANY SP (USC00300093). 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 Allegany State Park; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
