The year, day by day
Fort Benning Lawson Fld works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 94°F by July 22 and hold at or above 90°F on 95 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 12 dates, bottoming at 32°F around January 8.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 6 through September 8, covering 95 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 9 to November 17.
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.
The freezing stretch
Freezing normal lows persist into January 19, covering 12 dates.
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.
The widest day
November 13 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 32°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Fort Benning Lawson Fld Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 95 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
Fort Benning Lawson Fld earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Data-derived climate profile
How Fort Benning Lawson Fld's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · mid swing
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Fort Benning Lawson Fld's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 34.9°F. The annual average is 65°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Fort Benning Lawson Fld's normal, at 2,288 and 2,152 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.
A roughly 227-day frost-free season sits inside this mixed heating-and-cooling profile. Start and end dates matter because both sides of the thermostat register during a normal year.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Fort Benning Lawson Fld's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Fort Benning Lawson Fld'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 Fort Benning Lawson Fld, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Fort Benning Lawson Fld's primary station: FT BENNING LAWSON FLD (USW00013829). 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 Fort Benning Lawson Fld; 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 Fort Benning Lawson Fld comes from its primary NOAA station record. No figure on this page is typed in by an editor - each value is rendered from NOAA 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals.
