The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 89°F around July 4, short of 90°F on every date, while 63 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 27°F near January 19.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into February 19, then returns to freezing around December 19, covering 63 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 April 29, when 39% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is September 12 at 22%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 107 wet dates a year.
The widest day
October 2 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 22°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Evansville Museum spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 25% of the annual total and December through February 22%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Evansville Museum has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 45.1°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: April averages 5.2" and August 3.1". The three wettest months together take 31% 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.
When it rains in Evansville Museum, it arrives in quantity
47.8" of precipitation falls across only about 108 wet days here, averaging 0.44 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 108 a year, 30% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.44 inches
- Most wet days
- May, about 12

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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Evansville Museum's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Evansville Museum's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 3,883 annual heating degree days against 1,771 for cooling. Its 45.1°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Evansville Museum's frost-free season lasts about 226 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 Evansville Museum's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 45.1°F. The annual average is 59°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, Evansville Museum carries 47.8 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 Evansville Museum'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 Evansville Museum, 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 Evansville Museum's primary station: EVANSVILLE MUSEUM (USC00122731). 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 Evansville Museum; 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 Evansville Museum comes from its primary NOAA station record.
