The year, day by day
The year in Bushnell runs from a mild 43°F around January 10 to 91°F at the peak near July 17, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 16 through August 31, covering 77 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs January 28 to December 28.
This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.
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 43°F around January 10.
The widest day
February 29 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 28°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Bushnell Stands Nationally
Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 77 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.
Bushnell earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Data-derived climate profile
How Bushnell's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Bushnell. Cooling totals 2,666 degree days, more than double the 968 heating measure, and the 24.3°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Bushnell's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
Temperature varies within a narrow 24.3°F band across the normal year. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 70°F. Monthly rows still matter, but they refine a steady profile rather than reveal two climatic extremes.
The frost-free window extends for about 278 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 Bushnell's primary station, so the summer figures are a thirty-year average rather than a ceiling: individual years have run hotter and will again. For Bushnell that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Bushnell's primary station: BUSHNELL 1 E (USC00081163). 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 1209625). Match rule for Bushnell: 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 Bushnell comes from its primary NOAA station record.
