The year, day by day
Kingston Springs works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 91°F by August 5 and hold at or above 90°F on 59 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 96 dates, bottoming at 26°F around January 20.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 30 through August 27, covering 59 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 4 to October 28.
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 March 1, then returns to freezing around November 27, covering 96 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 3, when 40% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 28 at 26%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 124 wet dates a year.
The widest day
October 21 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 30°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Kingston Springs 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 26%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Kingston Springs has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 40.9°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 5.4" and August 3.3". 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 Kingston Springs, it arrives in quantity
50.5" of precipitation falls across only about 125 wet days here, averaging 0.40 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
- 0.40 inches
- Most wet days
- May, about 12
- Fewest wet days
- September, 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.
Snow reaches Kingston Springs, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 1.4 inches of snow a year here, most likely in February. That is a real but marginal amount: enough that snow is part of the local record, not enough to define the winter.
A figure in this range usually reflects a handful of events that melt quickly rather than a season of accumulation; about 2 days a year record any measurable snow at all.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. An average across thirty years can smooth away a single heavy winter, so a small annual figure does not mean a significant snowfall is impossible.

Data-derived climate profile
How Kingston Springs's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Kingston Springs's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 3,749 annual heating degree days against 1,613 for cooling. Its 40.9°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Kingston Springs's frost-free season lasts about 195 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 Kingston Springs's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 40.9°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, Kingston Springs carries 50.5 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Annual snowfall totals 1.4 inches. 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 Kingston Springs'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 Kingston Springs, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
