The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 84°F around July 12, short of 90°F on every date, while 147 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 17°F near January 25.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 3, then returns to freezing around November 9, covering 147 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 May 19, when 44% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is September 9 at 30%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 131 wet dates a year.
The widest day
May 3 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 26°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Belvidere Brg spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 29% of the annual total and December through February 21%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Belvidere Brg has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 45°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: July averages 4.8" and February 2.7". The three wettest months together take 29% 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 Belvidere Brg, it arrives in quantity
48.2" of precipitation falls across only about 131 wet days here, averaging 0.37 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 131 a year, 36% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.37 inches
- Most wet days
- May, about 14
- Fewest wet days
- February, about 9
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.
Winter brings real snow to Belvidere Brg
Belvidere Brg averages 23.3 inches of snowfall a year, with January the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 10 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: 23.3 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 10 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 5% of the year's precipitation.

Snow and freeze rhythm
When cold and snow define Belvidere Brg
heating led · wet · mid swing
Belvidere Brg's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 6,050 annual heating degree days against 650 for cooling. Its 45.0°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Belvidere Brg's frost-free season lasts about 171 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Belvidere Brg's primary station: BELVIDERE BRG (USC00280734). 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 Belvidere Brg; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
