The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Beaver Falls: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 32°F near January 1 and 68°F near August 3.
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 32°F around January 1.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is October 31, when 81% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is May 19 at 51%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 242 wet dates a year.
The widest day
May 25 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 15°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Beaver Falls Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 157 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 15°F.
Beaver Falls earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Beaver Falls spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 15% of the annual total and December through February 31%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Beaver Falls has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry an unusually narrow 24.8°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: November averages 19.5" and June 5.9". The three wettest months together take 37% 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.
When it rains in Beaver Falls, it arrives in quantity
157.3" of precipitation falls across only about 242 wet days here, averaging 0.65 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 242 a year, 66% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.65 inches
- Most wet days
- October, about 24
- Fewest wet days
- May, about 16
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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Beaver Falls's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · low swing
Heating is the larger measured load in Beaver Falls, at 6,476 degree days versus 32 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 24.8°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.
Beaver Falls's frost-free season lasts about 219 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
Beaver Falls's 24.8°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 47°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
Alongside its heating load, Beaver Falls carries 157.3 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. That distinction matters because a wet annual total can arrive as rain, snow, or a mixture at different times.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Beaver Falls'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 Beaver Falls, 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 Beaver Falls's primary station: BEAVER FALLS (USC00500657). 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 Beaver Falls; 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 Beaver Falls comes from its primary NOAA station record.
