The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 80°F around July 17, short of 90°F on every date, while 138 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 16°F near February 1.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 4, then returns to freezing around November 19, covering 138 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, 21°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Brockport Stands Nationally
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 21°F.
Brockport earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Brockport 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 20%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Brockport has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 45.5°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: July averages 3.5" and February 1.9". 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Brockport's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Brockport's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 6,535 annual heating degree days against 583 for cooling. Its 45.5°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Brockport's frost-free season lasts about 189 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 Brockport's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 45.5°F. The annual average is 49°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Brockport's 35.5 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Brockport'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 Brockport, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
