The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 81°F around July 24, short of 90°F on every date, while 116 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 22°F near January 26.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 25, then returns to freezing around December 1, covering 116 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 April 13, when 36% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 11 at 25%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 114 wet dates a year.
The widest day
October 10 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 18°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Bridgehampton Stands Nationally
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 18°F.
The normal water year runs well above the national norm at roughly 50 inches.

Bridgehampton spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 22% of the annual total and December through February 25%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Bridgehampton has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 41.3°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: December averages 5.0" and July 3.2". The three wettest months together take 30% 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 Bridgehampton, it arrives in quantity
49.8" of precipitation falls across only about 114 wet days here, averaging 0.44 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 114 a year, 31% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.44 inches
- Most wet days
- April, about 11
- Fewest wet days
- July, about 8
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 Bridgehampton
Bridgehampton averages 26.8 inches of snowfall a year, with February the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 11 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: 26.8 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 11 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 5% 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 Bridgehampton
heating led · wet · mid swing
Bridgehampton's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,704 annual heating degree days against 576 for cooling. Its 41.3°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Bridgehampton's frost-free season lasts about 184 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
