The year, day by day
The year in Kingstree runs from a mild 33°F around January 7 to 93°F at the peak near July 19, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 17 through August 26, covering 71 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 16 to November 16.
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 33°F around January 7.
The widest day
March 18 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 30°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Kingstree's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · mid swing
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Kingstree's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 35.1°F. The annual average is 64°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Kingstree's normal, at 2,439 and 2,043 degree days respectively. Neither total exceeds the other by more than two to one, so the record is better read as a mixed-demand calendar than as heating-led or cooling-led.
A roughly 222-day frost-free season sits inside this mixed heating-and-cooling profile. Start and end dates matter because both sides of the thermostat register during a normal year.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Kingstree's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Kingstree's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like Kingstree, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Kingstree's primary station: KINGSTREE (USC00384753). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The 2024 Census Gazetteer identifies the exact name-and-state match as an incorporated place (GEOID 4538590). Match rule for Kingstree: exact normalized name + state only, no fuzzy expansion, so nearby differently spelled facilities stay unmatched.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Kingstree comes from its primary NOAA station record.
