The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Galliano: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 44°F near January 14 and 90°F near July 29.
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 44°F around January 14.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is July 25, when 51% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is May 2 at 20%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 115 wet dates a year.
The widest day
November 10 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 19°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Galliano Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 67 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 19°F.
Galliano earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Galliano runs a summer-peaked wet season
36% of Galliano's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is July at 9.2", on an unusually narrow 28.6°F seasonal spread. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: July, August, June, taking 36% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: November at 3.5".
- Winter share: 22% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
When it rains in Galliano, it arrives in quantity
66.7" of precipitation falls across only about 115 wet days here, averaging 0.58 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 115 a year, 31% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.58 inches
- Most wet days
- July, about 16
- Fewest wet days
- April, about 6
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.
Galliano's record shows no measurable snowfall
This station measured snowfall across the 1991-2020 period and recorded none: the annual normal is 0.0 inches. That is a measured zero rather than missing data, which is a meaningful distinction here , most stations in the database simply do not report snow at all, and those pages say nothing about it.
A thirty-year normal of zero describes the typical year at this station. It is not a claim that snow has never fallen in the area.

Data-derived climate profile
How Galliano's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · wet · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Galliano. Cooling totals 2,886 degree days, more than double the 1,267 heating measure, and the 28.6°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
Warm-season demand is paired with a wet annual normal: 66.7 inches of precipitation at Galliano. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. The month-by-month bars distinguish a concentrated wet season from moisture spread across the calendar.
Galliano's 28.6°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 69°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
The frost-free window extends for about 314 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 Galliano's primary station, so the summer figures are a thirty-year average rather than a ceiling: individual years have run hotter and will again. For Galliano that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.
