The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 89°F around July 16, short of 90°F on every date, while 44 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 30°F near January 19.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into February 9, then returns to freezing around December 28, covering 44 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 February 18, when 39% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is October 2 at 24%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 120 wet dates a year.
The widest day
October 27 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 26°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Chatsworth Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 58 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Chatsworth earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Chatsworth spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 27% of the annual total and December through February 26%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Chatsworth has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 38°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: June averages 5.5" and October 3.5". The three wettest months together take 28% 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.
When it rains in Chatsworth, it arrives in quantity
57.5" of precipitation falls across only about 120 wet days here, averaging 0.48 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 120 a year, 33% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.48 inches
- Most wet days
- June, about 12

A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, and a per-day average is not a forecast of any individual storm.

Data-derived climate profile
How Chatsworth's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Chatsworth's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 3,346 annual heating degree days against 1,566 for cooling. Its 38.0°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Chatsworth's frost-free season lasts about 213 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Chatsworth's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 38.0°F. The annual average is 60°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, Chatsworth carries 57.5 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. That distinction matters because a wet annual total can arrive as rain, snow, or a mixture at different times.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Chatsworth'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 Chatsworth, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
