The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 85°F around July 13, short of 90°F on every date, while 162 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 13°F near January 27.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 13, then returns to freezing around November 4, covering 162 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 May 19, when 44% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is February 3 at 31%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 135 wet dates a year.
The widest day
May 2 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 29°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Falls Village 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 20%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Falls Village has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 46.5°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: June averages 4.8" and February 2.5". 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.
How Falls Village's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 135 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 46.9" between them, or roughly 0.35 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 Falls Village's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Falls Village's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 6,556 annual heating degree days against 540 for cooling. Its 46.5°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 146 days are frost-free in a normal year. That short interval is consistent with the cold-season signal, but the measure does not predict the exact first or last freeze in any one year.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Falls Village's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 46.5°F. The annual average is 48°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, Falls Village carries 46.9 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 Falls Village'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 Falls Village, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
