The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Estacada: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 34°F near December 21 and 84°F near July 29.
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 21.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is December 17, when 69% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 3 at 11%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 177 wet dates a year.
The widest day
July 29 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 29°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Estacada 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.
Estacada earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Estacada's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 38% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 7%. 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 26.8°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- December, 8.4"
- Driest month
- July, 0.6"
- Wettest three months
- December, November, January (42% 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.
How Estacada's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 177 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 57.8" between them, or roughly 0.33 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.
Snow reaches Estacada, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 1.1 inches of snow a year here, most likely in January. 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; about 1 days a year record any measurable snow at all.
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 Estacada's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · low swing
Heating is the larger measured load in Estacada, at 4,362 degree days versus 356 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 26.8°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.
Estacada's frost-free season lasts about 232 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
Estacada's 26.8°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 54°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
Alongside its heating load, Estacada carries 57.8 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Annual snowfall totals 1.1 inches. 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 Estacada'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 Estacada, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
