The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 84°F around July 24, short of 90°F on every date, while 236 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 1°F near January 3.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 15, then returns to freezing around September 23, covering 236 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.
The widest day
July 29 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 42°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Lamar Ranger Station Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 236 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.
Day-to-night contrast is extreme by national standards — the widest normal daily swing reaches about 42°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.
Lamar Ranger Station earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Lamar Ranger Station spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 29% of the annual total and December through February 19%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Lamar Ranger Station has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 47.7°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: June averages 2.5" and February 1.1". The three wettest months together take 35% 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Lamar Ranger Station's climate pattern fits together
heating led · dry · mid swing
Lamar Ranger Station's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 10,083 annual heating degree days against 23 for cooling. Its 47.7°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Lamar Ranger Station. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Lamar Ranger Station's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 47.7°F. The annual average is 37°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Lamar Ranger Station's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 18.0 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Lamar Ranger Station'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 Lamar Ranger Station, 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 Lamar Ranger Station's primary station: LAMAR RS (USC00485355). 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 Lamar Ranger Station; 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 Lamar Ranger Station comes from its primary NOAA station record. No figure on this page is typed in by an editor - each value is rendered from NOAA 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals.
