The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Gold Beach Ranger Station: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 41°F near December 13 and 69°F near September 8.
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 41°F around December 13.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is November 30, when 63% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 25 at 8%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 146 wet dates a year.
The widest day
September 19 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 17°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Gold Beach Ranger Station Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 75 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 17°F.
Gold Beach Ranger Station earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Gold Beach Ranger Station's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 46% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 3%. That is the cool-season-dominant pattern of the West Coast and the higher inland West, where storm tracks swing south in winter and summer turns dry; the thermometer meanwhile shows an unusually narrow 13°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- December, 13.2"
- Driest month
- July, 0.3"
- Wettest three months
- December, January, November (48% of the year)
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A cool-season label means the December-February share reaches 35%. Where snow falls, the monthly figures above report liquid-equivalent precipitation, so a wet winter month is not necessarily a rainy one.
When it rains in Gold Beach Ranger Station, it arrives in quantity
75.2" of precipitation falls across only about 145 wet days here, averaging 0.52 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 145 a year, 40% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.52 inches
- Most wet days
- March, about 19
- Fewest wet days
- July, about 2
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.
Gold Beach Ranger Station'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.

How Gold Beach Ranger Station's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · low swing
Heating is the larger measured load in Gold Beach Ranger Station, at 4,022 degree days versus 20 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 13.0°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.
The frost-free window extends for about 303 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.
Gold Beach Ranger Station's 13.0°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 54°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
Alongside its heating load, Gold Beach Ranger Station carries 75.2 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. That distinction matters because a wet annual total can arrive as rain, snow, or a mixture at different times.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Gold Beach Ranger Station'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 Gold Beach Ranger Station, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
The year in four calendar signals
- Warmest normal
- August
- Even at its warmest the station only averages 61°F (16°C), so no month here is hot by national standards.
- Coldest normal
- December
- The coldest month still averages 48°F (9°C), above freezing, so this calendar has no hard winter.
- Rainfall rhythm
- December to July
- December is typically wettest; July is driest.
- Mild-temperature window
- June through October
- Monthly means sit between 55°F and 75°F in this window. Freezing days are still reported from January through December.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Gold Beach Ranger Station's primary station: GOLD BEACH RS (USC00353356). 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 Gold Beach Ranger Station; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
