The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 89°F around July 8, short of 90°F on every date, while 84 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 26°F near January 21.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 1, then returns to freezing around December 9, covering 84 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.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is March 27, when 35% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is October 24 at 21%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 106 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 19 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 25°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Frederick Police Brks spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 25% of the annual total and December through February 22%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Frederick Police Brks has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 43.7°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: September averages 5.8" and January 2.6". The three wettest months together take 32% 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.
When it rains in Frederick Police Brks, it arrives in quantity
43.5" of precipitation falls across only about 105 wet days here, averaging 0.41 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 105 a year, 29% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.41 inches
- Most wet days
- March, about 11
- Fewest wet days

A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, and a per-day average is not a forecast of any individual storm.

Data-derived climate profile
How Frederick Police Brks's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Frederick Police Brks's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 4,275 annual heating degree days against 1,397 for cooling. Its 43.7°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Frederick Police Brks's frost-free season lasts about 218 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Frederick Police Brks's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 43.7°F. The annual average is 57°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Frederick Police Brks's 43.5 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Frederick Police Brks'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 Frederick Police Brks, 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 Frederick Police Brks's primary station: FREDERICK POLICE BRKS (USC00183348). 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 Frederick Police Brks; 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 Frederick Police Brks comes from its primary NOAA station record.
