Data-derived climate profile
How Champion Van Riper Park's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Champion Van Riper Park's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 9,611 annual heating degree days against 174 for cooling. Its 51.4°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Champion Van Riper Park. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Champion Van Riper Park's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 51.4°F. The annual average is 39°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Champion Van Riper Park'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 Champion Van Riper Park'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 Champion Van Riper Park, 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 Champion Van Riper Park's primary station: CHAMPION VAN RIPER PK (USC00201439). 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 Champion Van Riper Park; 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 Champion Van Riper Park 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.
