Climate Insight: Grayland, WA
Based on station USC00453320 feeding NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals, Grayland, Washington averages 51°F a year, ranging from a mean daily high of 58°F to a mean daily low of 44°F. August is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. Because these figures are thirty-year averages rather than any single year's readings, they describe the typical month, not a forecast for it.
Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. Grayland sees about 75.2 inches of precipitation a year, with negligible snowfall. The frost-free season averages 223 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near March 29 and the first fall freeze near November 7. On the energy side, 5,191 heating degree days and 12 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Grayland scores 53/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows in the monthly tables above, summer brings August-driven heat, and winter brings December-driven cold - use that rhythm for planning. These figures are thirty-year averages rather than forecasts, so a specific year may still run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than what's shown.
