The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Brewton: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 37°F near January 11 and 90°F near July 25.
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 37°F around January 11.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is July 24, when 42% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is October 17 at 18%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 110 wet dates a year.
The widest day
November 7 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 25°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Brewton Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 62 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Brewton earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Brewton spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 31% of the annual total and December through February 27%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Brewton has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 30.9°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: July averages 6.7" and October 3.4". The three wettest months together take 31% 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 Brewton, it arrives in quantity
61.5" of precipitation falls across only about 110 wet days here, averaging 0.56 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.

- about 110 a year, 30% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.56 inches

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 Brewton's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · wet · mid swing
Water is prominent even though neither heating nor cooling wholly defines the record. Brewton averages 61.5 inches of precipitation a year. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The monthly table supplies the seasonal distribution hidden by that annual total.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Brewton's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 30.9°F. The annual average is 66°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Brewton's normal, at 1,932 and 2,156 degree days respectively. Neither total exceeds the other by more than two to one, so the record is better read as a mixed-demand calendar than as heating-led or cooling-led.
The frost-free window extends for about 247 days. That is a long calendar measure, but it is not a forecast and does not combine heat, rainfall, soil, or local elevation into a planting recommendation.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Brewton's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like Brewton, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Brewton's primary station: BREWTON 3 NNE (USW00063899). 3 NOAA stations are mapped to the Brewton area; the primary station's record is used for consistency. For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The 2024 Census Gazetteer identifies the exact name-and-state match as an incorporated place (GEOID 0109208). Match rule for Brewton: exact normalized name + state only, no fuzzy expansion, so nearby differently spelled facilities stay unmatched.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Brewton comes from its primary NOAA station record.
