Anyone planning to live, garden, or travel in Cooper Dam should weigh precipitation alongside temperature: the annual average runs 49.3 inches, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 240 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near March 18 and the first fall freeze near November 13. And on the energy front, 2,559 heating degree days and 2,425 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Cooper Dam scores 88/100 (Excellent), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows in the monthly tables above, summer brings July-driven heat, and winter brings January-driven cold - use that rhythm for planning. These figures are thirty-year averages rather than forecasts, so a specific year may still run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than what's shown.
