The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 77°F around July 13, short of 90°F on every date, while 170 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 12°F near January 26.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 17, then returns to freezing around October 31, covering 170 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 December 31, when 62% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 31 at 38%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 183 wet dates a year.
The widest day
May 2 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 25°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Clermont spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 28% of the annual total and December through February 21%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Clermont has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 44.2°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: July averages 4.8" and February 3.0". 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.
How Clermont's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 182 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 50.8" between them, or roughly 0.28 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.
Winter brings real snow to Clermont
Clermont averages 79.5 inches of snowfall a year, with February the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 54 days that record measurable snow. That is depth accumulating on the ground, which is why it can exceed the annual precipitation figure: precipitation counts the liquid the snow melts down to, and fresh snow is mostly air.
- Annual snowfall: 79.5 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 54 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 16% of the year's precipitation.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. The ten-to-one ratio is a convention, not a measurement: real ratios vary with temperature, so treat the share as an order of magnitude rather than an exact split.

Snow and freeze rhythm
When cold and snow define Clermont
heating led · wet · mid swing
Clermont's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,752 annual heating degree days against 184 for cooling. Its 44.2°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 141 days are frost-free in a normal year. That short interval is consistent with the cold-season signal, but the measure does not predict the exact first or last freeze in any one year.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Clermont's primary station: CLERMONT 1 NW (USC00361526). 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 Clermont; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
