The year, day by day
Kenlake Resort works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 90°F by August 2 and hold at or above 90°F on 25 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 68 dates, bottoming at 27°F around January 15.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 23 through August 16, covering 25 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 12 to October 19.
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 19, then returns to freezing around December 14, 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 4, when 45% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is September 17 at 26%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 123 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 19 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 23°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Kenlake Resort Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 56 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Kenlake Resort earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Kenlake Resort spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 23% of the annual total and December through February 25%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Kenlake Resort has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 43.7°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: April averages 5.9" and January 3.5". The three wettest months together take 30% 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 Kenlake Resort, it arrives in quantity
55.8" of precipitation falls across only about 123 wet days here, averaging 0.45 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 123 a year, 34% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.45 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 Kenlake Resort's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Kenlake Resort's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 3,841 annual heating degree days against 1,742 for cooling. Its 43.7°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Kenlake Resort's frost-free season lasts about 219 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 Kenlake Resort's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 43.7°F. The annual average is 59°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, Kenlake Resort carries 55.8 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 Kenlake Resort'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 Kenlake Resort, 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 Kenlake Resort's primary station: KENLAKE RESORT (USC00154375). 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 Kenlake Resort; 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 Kenlake Resort comes from its primary NOAA station record.
