The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 79°F around July 22, short of 90°F on every date, while 194 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest -1°F near January 21.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 30, then returns to freezing around October 20, covering 194 dates in all.
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
May 26 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 28°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Foxboro's climate pattern fits together
heating led · high swing
Winter and seasonal range jointly define this record. Foxboro logs 9,421 heating degree days, more than twice its 208 cooling total, while the typical coldest-to-warmest-month gap reaches 55.9°F. The annual mean therefore compresses two materially different seasons.
Only about 113 days are frost-free in a normal year. That short interval is consistent with the cold-season signal, but the measure does not predict the exact first or last freeze in any one year.
Foxboro's calendar has a pronounced split: July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar, with 55.9°F between them. The annual average is 40°F. That average is context, while the monthly highs, lows, and precipitation totals describe the lived parts of the year.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Foxboro'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 Foxboro'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 Foxboro, 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 Foxboro's primary station: FOXBORO (USC00472889). 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 Foxboro; 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 Foxboro 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.
