The year, day by day
The year in Alma Bacon County runs from a mild 39°F around January 12 to 93°F at the peak near July 15, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 7 through September 4, covering 90 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 3 to November 21.
This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 39°F around January 12.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is July 20, when 40% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is October 27 at 19%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 104 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 21 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 27°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Alma Bacon County Stands Nationally
Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 90 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.

Alma Bacon County runs a summer-peaked wet season
36% of Alma Bacon County's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is August at 5.4", on a 31.4°F seasonal spread. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: August, June, July, taking 36% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: November at 2.2".
- Winter share: 23% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
When it rains in Alma Bacon County, it arrives in quantity
44.8" of precipitation falls across only about 103 wet days here, averaging 0.43 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.

- about 103 a year, 28% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.43 inches
- Most wet days
- June, about 12
- Fewest wet days
- November, about 6
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, and a per-day average is not a forecast of any individual storm.
Snow reaches Alma Bacon County, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 0.1 inches of snow a year here, most likely in January. That is a real but marginal amount: enough that snow is part of the local record, not enough to define the winter.
A figure in this range usually reflects a handful of events that melt quickly rather than a season of accumulation.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. An average across thirty years can smooth away a single heavy winter, so a small annual figure does not mean a significant snowfall is impossible.

Data-derived climate profile
How Alma Bacon County's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · moderate · mid swing
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Alma Bacon County's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 31.4°F. The annual average is 67°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Alma Bacon County's normal, at 1,645 and 2,542 degree days respectively. Neither total exceeds the other by more than two to one, so the record is better read as a mixed-demand calendar than as heating-led or cooling-led.
The frost-free window extends for about 254 days. That is a long calendar measure, but it is not a forecast and does not combine heat, rainfall, soil, or local elevation into a planting recommendation.
Alma Bacon County's 44.8 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Alma Bacon County's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like Alma Bacon County, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Alma Bacon County's primary station: ALMA BACON CO AP (USW00013870). 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 Alma Bacon County; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
