The year, day by day
The year in Florala Muni runs from a mild 40°F around January 9 to 92°F at the peak near July 25, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 7 through September 8, covering 94 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 4 to November 20.
This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.
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 40°F around January 9.
The widest day
November 6 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 25°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Florala Muni Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 94 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 60 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Florala Muni earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Florala Muni spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 29% of the annual total and December through February 25%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Florala Muni has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 30.8°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: July averages 6.3" and October 3.6". The three wettest months together take 29% 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Florala Muni's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · wet · mid swing
Water is prominent even though neither heating nor cooling wholly defines the record. Florala Muni averages 59.8 inches of precipitation a year. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The monthly table supplies the seasonal distribution hidden by that annual total.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Florala Muni's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 30.8°F. The annual average is 68°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Florala Muni's normal, at 1,599 and 2,591 degree days respectively. Neither total exceeds the other by more than two to one, so the record is better read as a mixed-demand calendar than as heating-led or cooling-led.
The frost-free window extends for about 267 days. That is a long calendar measure, but it is not a forecast and does not combine heat, rainfall, soil, or local elevation into a planting recommendation.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Florala Muni's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like Florala Muni, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

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 Florala Muni; 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 Florala Muni comes from its primary NOAA station record.
