The freezing stretch

The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 16, then returns to freezing around November 4, covering 165 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

May 5 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 22°F between the normal high and the normal low.

E Surry spreads its precipitation across the year

Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 22% of the annual total and December through February 26%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. E Surry has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 47.3°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.

The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: October averages 5.1" and July 3.1". The three wettest months together take 30% of the year, against the 25% a perfectly flat distribution would give them.

Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. "Spread across the year" means neither the June-August nor the December-February share reaches 35%; it describes an average year, not the variability of any single one.

Data-derived climate profile

How E Surry's climate pattern fits together

heating led · wet · mid swing

E Surry's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,651 annual heating degree days against 221 for cooling. Its 47.3°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.

E Surry's frost-free season lasts about 154 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.

July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in E Surry's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 47.3°F. The annual average is 45°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.

Alongside its heating load, E Surry carries 49.4 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 E Surry'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 E Surry, 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 E Surry's primary station: E SURRY (USC00172443). 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 E Surry; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
