The year, day by day
The year in Jacksonville Craig Muni runs from a mild 44°F around January 9 to 91°F at the peak near July 14, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 25 through August 15, covering 52 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs February 25 to December 1.
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.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 44°F around January 9.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is August 5, when 52% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is April 24 at 22%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 125 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 19 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 21°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Jacksonville Craig Muni Stands Nationally
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 21°F.
The normal water year runs well above the national norm at roughly 52 inches.
Jacksonville Craig Muni earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Jacksonville Craig Muni runs a summer-peaked wet season
37% of Jacksonville Craig Muni'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 September at 7.3", on an unusually narrow 27.3°F seasonal spread. 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: September, August, June, taking 39% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: April at 2.4".
- Winter share: 16% 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.
When it rains in Jacksonville Craig Muni, it arrives in quantity
51.8" of precipitation falls across only about 125 wet days here, averaging 0.41 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 125 a year, 34% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.41 inches

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 Jacksonville Craig Muni's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · wet · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Jacksonville Craig Muni. Cooling totals 2,764 degree days, more than double the 1,112 heating measure, and the 27.3°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
Warm-season demand is paired with a wet annual normal: 51.8 inches of precipitation at Jacksonville Craig Muni. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The month-by-month bars distinguish a concentrated wet season from moisture spread across the calendar.
Jacksonville Craig Muni's 27.3°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 70°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
The frost-free window extends for about 325 days. That is a long calendar measure, but it is not a forecast and does not combine heat, rainfall, soil, or local elevation into a planting recommendation.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Jacksonville Craig Muni's primary station, so the summer figures are a thirty-year average rather than a ceiling: individual years have run hotter and will again. For Jacksonville Craig Muni that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Jacksonville Craig Muni's primary station: JACKSONVILLE CRAIG MUNI AP (USW00053860). 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 Jacksonville Craig Muni; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
