The year, day by day
Butler works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 97°F by July 25 and hold at or above 90°F on 72 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 103 dates, bottoming at 23°F around January 8.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 22 through September 1, covering 72 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 3 to October 26.
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.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 2, then returns to freezing around November 21, covering 103 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
March 25 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 29°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Butler Stands Nationally
Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 72 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.
Butler 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 Butler's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · mid swing
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Butler's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 45.4°F. The annual average is 60°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Butler's normal, at 3,835 and 1,967 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.
A roughly 202-day frost-free season sits inside this mixed heating-and-cooling profile. Start and end dates matter because both sides of the thermostat register during a normal year.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Butler's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Butler'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 Butler, 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 Butler's primary station: BUTLER 5SW MESONET (USC00341270). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The exact name-and-state crosswalk returns more than one Census place, so PlainClimate leaves the place identity unresolved. Because Butler hits multiple Gazetteer rows, PlainClimate refuses to pick one and shows the unresolved badge instead of inventing a GEOID.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Butler comes from its primary NOAA station record. No figure on this page is typed in by an editor - each value is rendered from NOAA 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals.
