The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 88°F around July 17, short of 90°F on every date, while 28 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 31°F near January 31.
The freezing stretch
Freezing normal lows persist into February 16, covering 28 dates.
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.
The widest day
February 16 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 23°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Columbia Ag Gum Neck Stands Nationally
The normal water year runs well above the national norm at roughly 55 inches.
Columbia Ag Gum Neck earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Columbia Ag Gum Neck spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 32% of the annual total and December through February 21%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Columbia Ag Gum Neck has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 36.3°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: August averages 6.6" and April 3.5". The three wettest months together take 34% 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Columbia Ag Gum Neck's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · wet · mid swing
Water is prominent even though neither heating nor cooling wholly defines the record. Columbia Ag Gum Neck averages 55.3 inches of precipitation a year. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. 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 Columbia Ag Gum Neck's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 36.3°F. The annual average is 61°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Columbia Ag Gum Neck's normal, at 3,125 and 1,619 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 229-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 Columbia Ag Gum Neck'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 Columbia Ag Gum Neck, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Columbia Ag Gum Neck's primary station: COLUMBIA AG GUM NECK (USC00311949). 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 Columbia Ag Gum Neck; 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 Columbia Ag Gum Neck comes from its primary NOAA station record.
