The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 88°F around July 27, short of 90°F on every date, while 195 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 11°F near January 1.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 26, then returns to freezing around October 15, covering 195 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 3, when 39% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is December 7 at 15%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 86 wet dates a year.
The widest day
August 31 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 34°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Hulett Stands Nationally
Freezing is routine here by normals standards — the normal low reaches 32°F or colder on about 195 nights a year, more than most ranked stations.
Daily temperature swings run wider than most of the country, peaking near 34°F between the normal high and low.
Hulett earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Hulett spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 35% of the annual total and December through February 10%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Hulett has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 48.3°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 3.1" and December 0.5". The three wettest months together take 44% 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.
How Hulett's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 86 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 18.3" between them, or roughly 0.21 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.
Winter brings real snow to Hulett
Hulett averages 49.2 inches of snowfall a year, with March the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 24 days that record measurable snow. That is depth accumulating on the ground, which is why it can exceed the annual precipitation figure: precipitation counts the liquid the snow melts down to, and fresh snow is mostly air.
- Annual snowfall: 49.2 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 24 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 27% of the year's precipitation.

Snow and freeze rhythm
When cold and snow define Hulett
heating led · dry · mid swing
Hulett's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,734 annual heating degree days against 486 for cooling. Its 48.3°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 129 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.
