The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 75°F around July 22, short of 90°F on every date, while 259 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 1°F near December 20.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 31, then returns to freezing around September 16, covering 259 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.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is February 16, when 40% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 3 at 14%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 106 wet dates a year.
The widest day
July 20 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 34°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Electric Lake Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 259 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.
Daily temperature swings run wider than most of the country, peaking near 34°F between the normal high and low.
Electric Lake earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Electric Lake spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 14% of the annual total and December through February 33%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Electric Lake has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 43.7°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: January averages 2.8" and July 1.0". The three wettest months together take 34% 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.
How Electric Lake's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 105 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 24.5" between them, or roughly 0.23 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.

Data-derived climate profile
How Electric Lake's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Electric Lake's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 11,166 annual heating degree days against 4 for cooling. Its 43.7°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 Electric Lake. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Electric Lake's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 43.7°F. The annual average is 34°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Electric Lake's 24.5 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Electric Lake'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 Electric Lake, 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 Electric Lake's primary station: ELECTRIC LAKE (USC00422424). 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 Electric Lake; 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 Electric Lake 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.
