Data-derived climate profile
How Camp Pendleton Mcas's climate pattern fits together
heating led · low swing
Heating is the larger measured load in Camp Pendleton Mcas, at 1,718 degree days versus 727 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 18.1°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.
The frost-free window extends for about 295 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.
Temperature varies within a narrow 18.1°F band across the normal year. August and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 62°F. Monthly rows still matter, but they refine a steady profile rather than reveal two climatic extremes.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Camp Pendleton Mcas'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 Camp Pendleton Mcas'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 Camp Pendleton Mcas, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Camp Pendleton Mcas's primary station: CAMP PENDLETON MCAS (USW00003154). For informational purposes only.
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 Pendleton Mcas; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Camp Pendleton Mcas 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.
