Amite, LA Climate

Climate Insight: Amite, LA

An annual average temperature of 67°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 78°F to a mean daily low of 55°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Amite, Louisiana. August is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00160205 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.

Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. Amite sees about 63.8 inches of precipitation a year, with negligible snowfall. The frost-free season averages 256 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near March 7 and the first fall freeze near November 18. On the energy side, 1,821 heating degree days and 2,459 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Amite scores 77/100 (Good), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows, shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for August-driven heat, or deep winter for January-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
