Data-derived climate profile
How Cherry Valley's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Cherry Valley's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,480 annual heating degree days against 317 for cooling. Its 47.3°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Cherry Valley's frost-free season lasts about 153 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 Cherry Valley's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 47.3°F. The annual average is 45°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Cherry Valley'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 Cherry Valley'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 Cherry Valley, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
