The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 79°F around July 24, short of 90°F on every date, while 276 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 1°F near January 1.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into June 8, then returns to freezing around September 7, covering 276 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.
The widest day
August 24 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 40°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Cora Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 276 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 40°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.
Cora earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Data-derived climate profile
How Cora's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Cora's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 10,867 annual heating degree days against 9 for cooling. Its 45.5°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Cora. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Cora's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 45.5°F. The annual average is 35°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Cora's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Cora'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 Cora, 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 Cora's primary station: CORA (USC00482054). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The 2024 Census Gazetteer identifies the exact name-and-state match as a census-designated place (GEOID 5617210), not an incorporated municipality. Match rule for Cora: exact normalized name + state only, no fuzzy expansion, so nearby differently spelled facilities stay unmatched.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Cora comes from its primary NOAA station record. No figure on this page is typed in by an editor - each value is rendered from NOAA 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals.
