Methodology

How the U.S. land temperature anomaly tracks against the global mean since 1900. The current NOAA 1991-2020 normal for Cedar Lake captures average conditions across the spread shown — the most recent decade is warmer than the 30-year mean.

Warming context — U.S. vs global, with Paris reference lines Anomaly chart from 1900 to 2024. Local series shows warming of 0.11 °C per decade versus a global rate of 0.11 °C per decade (ratio 1.00).

Climate Insight: Cedar Lake, WA

The NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals describe Cedar Lake, Washington as a location with an annual average temperature of 47°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 54°F to a mean daily low of 40°F. August is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. These thirty-year averages, computed from station USC00451233, smooth out year-to-year variability and give a baseline expectation for typical conditions in any given month.

Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Cedar Lake receives roughly 99.8 inches of precipitation each year, with 42.0 inches typically falling as snow. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate, with the last spring freeze near April 23 and the first fall freeze near November 1. For energy use, 6,723 heating degree days and 59 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Cedar Lake scores 42/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows — shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for August-driven heat, or deep winter for December-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
