The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 86°F around July 17, short of 90°F on every date, while 230 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 5°F near December 21.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 12, then returns to freezing around September 26, covering 230 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 August 5, when 28% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is December 10 at 11%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 63 wet dates a year.
The widest day
June 19 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 41°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Angle Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 230 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.
Aridity defines the water calendar: about 9 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.
Angle earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Angle spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 34% of the annual total and December through February 14%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Angle has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 42.5°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: August averages 1.4" and November 0.3". The three wettest months together take 41% 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.
Angle is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 62 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 17% of the calendar, and they carry 9.2" between them. At roughly 0.15 inches on an average wet day, this is not the damp drizzle of a marine climate; it is an arid record in which precipitation is both uncommon and light when it appears.
The wettest month by count is August at about 8 wet days; the driest is December at about 3.
A low per-event average in a dry record is a statement about typical days only. Arid regions can still take a large share of a year's total from a single convective storm, which a normal cannot show.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, not the extremes within it.
Winter brings real snow to Angle
Angle averages 20.1 inches of snowfall a year, with January the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 15 days that record measurable snow. That is depth accumulating on the ground, which is why it can exceed the annual precipitation figure: precipitation counts the liquid the snow melts down to, and fresh snow is mostly air.
- Annual snowfall: 20.1 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 15 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 22% of the year's precipitation.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. The ten-to-one ratio is a convention, not a measurement: real ratios vary with temperature, so treat the share as an order of magnitude rather than an exact split.

Snow and freeze rhythm
When cold and snow define Angle
heating led · dry · mid swing
Angle's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,788 annual heating degree days against 107 for cooling. Its 42.5°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 87 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.

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 Angle; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
