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.

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.

Questions about Florala Muni's climate

How much rain does Florala Muni get?
Florala Muni receives 59.8 inches of precipitation. Based on NOAA 30-year climate normals (1991-2020).
How many days above 90°F does Florala Muni get?
Florala Muni averages about 97 days a year at or above 90°F, concentrated in July and the months either side of it. That is a count of days reaching the threshold, not a measure of how far above it they go.
How much energy does heating and cooling require in Florala Muni?
Florala Muni has 1,599 heating degree days and 2,591 cooling degree days annually, a fairly balanced heating/cooling split. Degree-day definitions: reading weather data.

Data Sources

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Florala Muni's primary station: FLORALA MUNI AP (USW00063870). 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 Florala Muni; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
