These thirty-year averages, computed from station USW00013754, 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. Cherry Point Mcas receives roughly 57.4 inches of precipitation each year, with 0.8 inches typically falling as snow. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate, with the last spring freeze near March 19 and the first fall freeze near November 22. For energy use, 2,348 heating degree days and 2,118 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Cherry Point Mcas scores 82/100 (Excellent), 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 July-driven heat, or deep winter for January-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.
