The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 88°F around July 30, short of 90°F on every date, while 197 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 15°F near January 12.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 26, then returns to freezing around October 13, covering 197 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 January 15, when 27% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 11 at 8%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 65 wet dates a year.
The widest day
August 19 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 37°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Clover Valley Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 197 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.
Day-to-night contrast is extreme by national standards — the widest normal daily swing reaches about 37°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.
Clover Valley earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Clover Valley's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 35% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 11%. That is the cool-season-dominant pattern of the West Coast and the higher inland West, where storm tracks swing south in winter and summer turns dry; the thermometer meanwhile shows a 42.5°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- January, 2.3"
- Driest month
- August, 0.3"
- Wettest three months
- January, December, May (38% of the year)
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A cool-season label means the December-February share reaches 35%. Where snow falls, the monthly figures above report liquid-equivalent precipitation, so a wet winter month is not necessarily a rainy one.
How Clover Valley's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 65 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 15.5" between them, or roughly 0.24 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Clover Valley's climate pattern fits together
heating led · dry · mid swing
Clover Valley's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,134 annual heating degree days against 264 for cooling. Its 42.5°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 111 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.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Clover Valley's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 42.5°F. The annual average is 46°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Clover Valley's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 15.5 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Clover 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 Clover Valley, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Clover Valley's primary station: CLOVER VALLEY (USC00261740). 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 Clover Valley; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Clover Valley comes from its primary NOAA station record.
