The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 78°F around July 22, short of 90°F on every date, while 200 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest -8°F near January 23.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 30, then returns to freezing around October 14, covering 200 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 June 10, when 41% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is March 21 at 18%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 100 wet dates a year.
The widest day
August 2 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 25°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Camp Norris Dnr Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 200 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.

Camp Norris Dnr runs a summer-peaked wet season
44% of Camp Norris Dnr's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is June at 4.0", on a wide 61.8°F gap between its warmest and coldest month. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: June, July, August, taking 44% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: February at 0.7".
- Winter share: 9% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
How Camp Norris Dnr's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 100 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 25.1" between them, or roughly 0.25 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.
Winter brings real snow to Camp Norris Dnr
Camp Norris Dnr averages 45.9 inches of snowfall a year, with December the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 28 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: 45.9 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 28 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 18% 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 Camp Norris Dnr
heating led · moderate · high swing
Winter and seasonal range jointly define this record. Camp Norris Dnr logs 10,335 heating degree days, more than twice its 205 cooling total, while the typical coldest-to-warmest-month gap reaches 61.8°F. The annual mean therefore compresses two materially different seasons.
Only about 120 days are frost-free in a normal year. That short interval is consistent with the cold-season signal, but the measure does not predict the exact first or last freeze in any one year.

Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The conservative exact name-and-state crosswalk finds no Census place match, so PlainClimate treats this as a station-mapped location and does not claim it is a municipality. No exact Gazetteer row for Camp Norris Dnr; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
