The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 82°F around July 18, short of 90°F on every date, while 148 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 16°F near January 27.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 7, then returns to freezing around November 12, covering 148 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
April 12 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 24°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Alvin R Bush Dam's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Alvin R Bush Dam's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 6,235 annual heating degree days against 444 for cooling. Its 44.8°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Alvin R Bush Dam's frost-free season lasts about 175 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 Alvin R Bush Dam's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 44.8°F. The annual average is 49°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Alvin R Bush Dam's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Alvin R Bush Dam'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 Alvin R Bush Dam, 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 Alvin R Bush Dam's primary station: ALVIN R BUSH DAM (USC00360147). 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 Alvin R Bush Dam; 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 Alvin R Bush Dam comes from its primary NOAA station record. No figure on this page is typed in by an editor - each value is rendered from NOAA 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals.
