The year, day by day
The year in De Sabla runs from a mild 34°F around December 11 to 92°F at the peak near July 23, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 6 through August 21, covering 47 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 3 to October 23.
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.
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 34°F around December 11.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is January 1, when 44% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 24 at 1%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 88 wet dates a year.
The widest day
August 3 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 34°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where De Sabla Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 66 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Daily temperature swings run wider than most of the country, peaking near 34°F between the normal high and low.

De Sabla's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 55% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 2%. 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 a 32°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- December, 13.0"
- Driest month
- July, 0.0"
- Wettest three months
- December, January, February (55% 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 De Sabla, it arrives in quantity
66.0" of precipitation falls across only about 88 wet days here, averaging 0.75 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 88 a year, 24% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.75 inches
- Most wet days
- January, about 13
- Fewest wet days
- July, about 0
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.
Snow reaches De Sabla, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 0.2 inches of snow a year here, most likely in April. That is a real but marginal amount: enough that snow is part of the local record, not enough to define the winter.
A figure in this range usually reflects a handful of events that melt quickly rather than a season of accumulation.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. An average across thirty years can smooth away a single heavy winter, so a small annual figure does not mean a significant snowfall is impossible.

Data-derived climate profile
How De Sabla's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
De Sabla's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 3,741 annual heating degree days against 965 for cooling. Its 32.0°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
De Sabla's frost-free season lasts about 208 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in De Sabla's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 32.0°F. The annual average is 57°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, De Sabla carries 66.0 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. 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 De Sabla'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 De Sabla, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

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