The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 77°F around July 20, short of 90°F on every date, while 209 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest -5°F near January 25.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 5, then returns to freezing around October 10, covering 209 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 June 19, when 44% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is February 5 at 18%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 113 wet dates a year.
The widest day
May 18 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 28°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Hibbing Chisholm Hibbing runs a summer-peaked wet season
46% of Hibbing Chisholm Hibbing'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 June at 4.4", on a wide 57.3°F gap between its warmest and coldest month. 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: June, July, August, taking 46% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: January at 0.5".
- Winter share: 7% 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.
How Hibbing Chisholm Hibbing's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 113 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 24.8" between them, or roughly 0.22 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.

Data-derived climate profile
How Hibbing Chisholm Hibbing's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · high swing
Winter and seasonal range jointly define this record. Hibbing Chisholm Hibbing logs 10,336 heating degree days, more than twice its 120 cooling total, while the typical coldest-to-warmest-month gap reaches 57.3°F. The annual mean therefore compresses two materially different seasons.
Only about 95 days are frost-free in a normal year. That short interval is consistent with the cold-season signal, but the measure does not predict the exact first or last freeze in any one year.
Hibbing Chisholm Hibbing's calendar has a pronounced split: July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar, with 57.3°F between them. The annual average is 37°F. That average is context, while the monthly highs, lows, and precipitation totals describe the lived parts of the year.
Hibbing Chisholm Hibbing's 24.8 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 Hibbing Chisholm Hibbing'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 Hibbing Chisholm Hibbing, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Hibbing Chisholm Hibbing's primary station: HIBBING CHISHOLM HIBBING AP (USW00094931). 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 Hibbing Chisholm Hibbing; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
