Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. Fond DU Lac sees about 32.4 inches of precipitation a year, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 175 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near April 27 and the first fall freeze near October 19. On the energy side, 7,160 heating degree days and 648 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Fond DU Lac scores 64/100 (Good), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows, shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for July-driven heat, or deep winter for January-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
