The year, day by day
The year in Childersburg Wtp runs from a mild 34°F around January 12 to 93°F at the peak near July 25, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 12 through September 7, covering 88 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 13 to November 9.
This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 34°F around January 12.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is June 27, when 37% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is October 1 at 22%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 116 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 1 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 29°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Childersburg Wtp Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 56 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 88 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.
Childersburg Wtp earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Childersburg Wtp spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 23% of the annual total and December through February 30%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Childersburg Wtp has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 35.5°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: February averages 6.0" and October 3.3". The three wettest months together take 30% 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 Childersburg Wtp, it arrives in quantity
56.0" of precipitation falls across only about 115 wet days here, averaging 0.49 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.

- about 115 a year, 32% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.49 inches
- Most wet days
- July, about 11
- Fewest wet days
- October, about 7
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.
Snow reaches Childersburg Wtp, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 1.1 inches of snow a year here, most likely in March. That is a real but marginal amount: enough that snow is part of the local record, not enough to define the winter.
A figure in this range usually reflects a handful of events that melt quickly rather than a season of accumulation; about 0 days a year record any measurable snow at all.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. An average across thirty years can smooth away a single heavy winter, so a small annual figure does not mean a significant snowfall is impossible.

Data-derived climate profile
How Childersburg Wtp's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · wet · mid swing
Water is prominent even though neither heating nor cooling wholly defines the record. Childersburg Wtp averages 56.0 inches of precipitation a year. Annual snowfall totals 1.1 inches. The monthly table supplies the seasonal distribution hidden by that annual total.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Childersburg Wtp's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 35.5°F. The annual average is 65°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Childersburg Wtp's normal, at 2,342 and 2,205 degree days respectively. Neither total exceeds the other by more than two to one, so the record is better read as a mixed-demand calendar than as heating-led or cooling-led.
A roughly 216-day frost-free season sits inside this mixed heating-and-cooling profile. Start and end dates matter because both sides of the thermostat register during a normal year.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Childersburg Wtp's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like Childersburg Wtp, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

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 Childersburg Wtp; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
