The year, day by day

Henrietta works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 98°F by July 29 and hold at or above 90°F on 92 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 68 dates, bottoming at 29°F around January 21.

When the heat sits

Normal highs reach 90°F from June 10 through September 9, covering 92 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 22 to November 5.

This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.

The freezing stretch

The normal low stays at or below 32°F into February 15, then returns to freezing around December 10, covering 68 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 May 30, when 26% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 17 at 14%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 73 wet dates a year.

The widest day

April 4 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 29°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Henrietta Stands Nationally

Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 92 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.

Henrietta spreads its precipitation across the year

Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 26% of the annual total and December through February 16%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Henrietta has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 42.1°F seasonal spread.

The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 4.7" and December 1.7". The three wettest months together take 37% 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 Henrietta, it arrives in quantity

32.0" of precipitation falls across only about 73 wet days here, averaging 0.44 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.

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.

Snow reaches Henrietta, but rarely amounts to much

The normals record 0.9 inches of snow a year here, most likely in January. That is a real but marginal amount: enough that snow is part of the local record, not enough to define the winter.

A figure in this range usually reflects a handful of events that melt quickly rather than a season of accumulation; about 1 days a year record any measurable snow at all.

NOAA 1991-2020 normals. An average across thirty years can smooth away a single heavy winter, so a small annual figure does not mean a significant snowfall is impossible.

Data-derived climate profile

How Henrietta's climate pattern fits together

mixed demand · moderate · mid swing

July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Henrietta's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 42.1°F. The annual average is 63°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.

Heating and cooling both register in Henrietta's normal, at 2,998 and 2,290 degree days respectively. Neither total exceeds the other by more than two to one, so the record is better read as a mixed-demand calendar than as heating-led or cooling-led.

A roughly 221-day frost-free season sits inside this mixed heating-and-cooling profile. Start and end dates matter because both sides of the thermostat register during a normal year.

Henrietta's 32.0 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Annual snowfall totals 0.9 inches. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.

These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Henrietta's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like Henrietta, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

Questions about Henrietta's climate

How much rain does Henrietta get?
Henrietta receives 32.0 inches of precipitation, including 0.9 inches of snow. Based on NOAA 30-year climate normals (1991-2020).
How many days above 90°F does Henrietta get?
Henrietta averages about 96 days a year at or above 90°F, concentrated in July and the months either side of it. That is a count of days reaching the threshold, not a measure of how far above it they go.
How much energy does heating and cooling require in Henrietta?
Henrietta has 2,998 heating degree days and 2,290 cooling degree days annually, a fairly balanced heating/cooling split. Degree-day definitions: reading weather data.
