The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 88°F around July 16, short of 90°F on every date, while 30 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 31°F near January 13.
The freezing stretch
Freezing normal lows persist into February 1, covering 30 dates.
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 July 24, when 45% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is November 5 at 26%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 122 wet dates a year.
The widest day
November 5 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 27°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Hofmann Forest Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 60 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Hofmann Forest earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Hofmann Forest spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 33% of the annual total and December through February 20%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Hofmann Forest has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 34.4°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: September averages 8.4" and April 3.7". 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 Hofmann Forest, it arrives in quantity
60.3" of precipitation falls across only about 121 wet days here, averaging 0.50 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 121 a year, 33% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.50 inches
- Most wet days
- July, about 14
- Fewest wet days
- November, about 8
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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Hofmann Forest's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Hofmann Forest's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 3,117 annual heating degree days against 1,454 for cooling. Its 34.4°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Hofmann Forest's frost-free season lasts about 209 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Hofmann Forest's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 34.4°F. The annual average is 60°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, Hofmann Forest carries 60.3 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. 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 Hofmann Forest'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 Hofmann Forest, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Hofmann Forest's primary station: HOFMANN FOREST (USC00314144). 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 Hofmann Forest; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Hofmann Forest comes from its primary NOAA station record.
