The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Fern Ridge-veneta: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 33°F near December 25 and 84°F near July 26.
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 33°F around December 25.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is December 10, when 66% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 1 at 4%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 147 wet dates a year.
The widest day
July 26 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 32°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Fern Ridge-veneta's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 46% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 4%. 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 28.7°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- December, 8.7"
- Driest month
- August, 0.3"
- Wettest three months
- December, January, November (48% 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 Fern Ridge-veneta's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 145 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 46.4" between them, or roughly 0.32 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 Fern Ridge-veneta's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · low swing
Heating is the larger measured load in Fern Ridge-veneta, at 4,954 degree days versus 266 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 28.7°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.
Fern Ridge-veneta's frost-free season lasts about 190 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
Fern Ridge-veneta's 28.7°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 52°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
Alongside its heating load, Fern Ridge-veneta carries 46.4 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 Fern Ridge-veneta'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 Fern Ridge-veneta, 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 Fern Ridge-veneta's primary station: FERN RIDGE-VENETA (USC00352867). 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 Fern Ridge-veneta; 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 Fern Ridge-veneta comes from its primary NOAA station record.
