The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 69°F around July 6, short of 90°F on every date, while 224 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 2°F near January 13.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 11, then returns to freezing around October 1, covering 224 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
May 18 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 26°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Campbell Creek Sci Ctr Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 224 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.
Campbell Creek Sci Ctr 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
Campbell Creek Sci Ctr spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 34% of the annual total and December through February 21%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Campbell Creek Sci Ctr has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 47.6°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: September averages 3.1" and April 0.3". The three wettest months together take 45% 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 Campbell Creek Sci Ctr's climate pattern fits together
heating led · dry · mid swing
Campbell Creek Sci Ctr's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 11,247 annual heating degree days against 7 for cooling. Its 47.6°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 107 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.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Campbell Creek Sci Ctr's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 47.6°F. The annual average is 34°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Campbell Creek Sci Ctr's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 17.8 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Campbell Creek Sci Ctr'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 Campbell Creek Sci Ctr, 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 Campbell Creek Sci Ctr's primary station: CAMPBELL CREEK SCI CTR (USC00501220). 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 Campbell Creek Sci Ctr; 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 Campbell Creek Sci Ctr comes from its primary NOAA station record.
