The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 81°F around July 23, short of 90°F on every date, while 160 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 11°F near January 27.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 18, then returns to freezing around November 11, covering 160 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 October 16, when 43% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is February 23 at 23%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 117 wet dates a year.
The widest day
May 15 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 23°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Ephraim 1ne-wwtp spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 30% of the annual total and December through February 14%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Ephraim 1ne-wwtp has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 49.3°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: October averages 3.6" and February 1.1". 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 Ephraim 1ne-wwtp's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 117 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 31.0" between them, or roughly 0.27 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.
Winter brings real snow to Ephraim 1ne-wwtp
Ephraim 1ne-wwtp averages 61.6 inches of snowfall a year, with January the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 26 days that record measurable snow. That is depth accumulating on the ground, which is why it can exceed the annual precipitation figure: precipitation counts the liquid the snow melts down to, and fresh snow is mostly air.
- Annual snowfall: 61.6 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 26 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 20% of the year's precipitation.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. The ten-to-one ratio is a convention, not a measurement: real ratios vary with temperature, so treat the share as an order of magnitude rather than an exact split.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Ephraim 1ne-wwtp's primary station: EPHRAIM 1NE-WWTP (USC00472626). 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 Ephraim 1ne-wwtp; 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 Ephraim 1ne-wwtp comes from its primary NOAA station record.
