The year, day by day
Concordia Muni works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 91°F by July 12 and hold at or above 90°F on 26 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 124 dates, bottoming at 19°F around January 12.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 4 through July 29, covering 26 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 4 to October 10.
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.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 16, then returns to freezing around November 14, covering 124 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 May 20, when 38% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is January 20 at 16%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 90 wet dates a year.
The widest day
March 28 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 24°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Concordia Muni runs a summer-peaked wet season
40% of Concordia Muni's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is May at 4.3", on a wide 50.1°F gap between its warmest and coldest month. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: May, July, June, taking 43% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: January at 0.7".
- Winter share: 9% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
How Concordia Muni's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 90 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 28.4" between them, or roughly 0.32 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 Concordia Muni
Concordia Muni averages 19.3 inches of snowfall a year, with January the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 12 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: 19.3 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 12 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 7% 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 Concordia Muni
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Concordia Muni's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,314 annual heating degree days against 1,373 for cooling. Its 50.1°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Concordia Muni's frost-free season lasts about 184 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.

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