The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 83°F around July 26, short of 90°F on every date, while 127 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 20°F near January 21.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 26, then returns to freezing around November 21, covering 127 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 27 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 23°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Barnesville's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Barnesville's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,696 annual heating degree days against 754 for cooling. Its 44.9°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Barnesville's frost-free season lasts about 178 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 Barnesville's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 44.9°F. The annual average is 51°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Barnesville'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 Barnesville'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 Barnesville, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
