The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Crescent City Mcnamara: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 41°F near December 18 and 65°F near August 31.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 41°F around December 18.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is December 22, when 59% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 7 at 13%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 142 wet dates a year.
The widest day
October 3 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 15°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Crescent City Mcnamara Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 58 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 15°F.
Crescent City Mcnamara earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Crescent City Mcnamara's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 47% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 4%. 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 an unusually narrow 10.2°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- December, 11.1"
- Driest month
- July, 0.3"
- Wettest three months
- December, January, November (49% 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.
When it rains in Crescent City Mcnamara, it arrives in quantity
58.0" of precipitation falls across only about 141 wet days here, averaging 0.41 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 141 a year, 39% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.41 inches
- Most wet days
- December, about 18
- Fewest wet days
- July, about 4
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, and a per-day average is not a forecast of any individual storm.

Data-derived climate profile
How Crescent City Mcnamara's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · low swing
Heating is the larger measured load in Crescent City Mcnamara, at 4,423 degree days versus 4 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 10.2°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.
The frost-free window extends for about 329 days. That is a long calendar measure, but it is not a forecast and does not combine heat, rainfall, soil, or local elevation into a planting recommendation.
Crescent City Mcnamara's 10.2°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 53°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
Alongside its heating load, Crescent City Mcnamara carries 58.0 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. That distinction matters because a wet annual total can arrive as rain, snow, or a mixture at different times.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Crescent City Mcnamara'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 Crescent City Mcnamara, 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 Crescent City Mcnamara's primary station: CRESCENT CITY MCNAMARA AP (USW00024286). 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 Crescent City Mcnamara; 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 Crescent City Mcnamara comes from its primary NOAA station record.
