The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 82°F around July 28, short of 90°F on every date, while 162 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 26°F near December 24.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 17, then returns to freezing around November 8, covering 162 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 November 30, when 59% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 31 at 11%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 150 wet dates a year.
The widest day
August 6 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 33°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Lemolo Lake Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 66 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Daily temperature swings run wider than most of the country, peaking near 33°F between the normal high and low.
Lemolo Lake earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Lemolo Lake's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 43% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 6%. That is the cool-season-dominant pattern of the West Coast and the higher inland West, where storm tracks swing south in winter and summer turns dry; the thermometer meanwhile shows a 31.4°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- December, 11.9"
- Driest month
- August, 0.7"
- Wettest three months
- December, January, November (47% of the year)
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A cool-season label means the December-February share reaches 35%. Where snow falls, the monthly figures above report liquid-equivalent precipitation, so a wet winter month is not necessarily a rainy one.
When it rains in Lemolo Lake, it arrives in quantity
66.2" of precipitation falls across only about 150 wet days here, averaging 0.44 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 150 a year, 41% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.44 inches
- Most wet days
- December, about 18
- Fewest wet days
- August, about 4
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.
Winter brings real snow to Lemolo Lake
Lemolo Lake averages 196.2 inches of snowfall a year, with December the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 53 days that record measurable snow. That is depth accumulating on the ground, which is why it can exceed the annual precipitation figure: precipitation counts the liquid the snow melts down to, and fresh snow is mostly air.
- Annual snowfall: 196.2 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 53 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 30% of the year's precipitation.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. The ten-to-one ratio is a convention, not a measurement: real ratios vary with temperature, so treat the share as an order of magnitude rather than an exact split.

Snow and freeze rhythm
When cold and snow define Lemolo Lake
heating led · wet · mid swing
Lemolo Lake's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,023 annual heating degree days against 142 for cooling. Its 31.4°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 114 days are frost-free in a normal year. That short interval is consistent with the cold-season signal, but the measure does not predict the exact first or last freeze in any one year.
-

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 Lemolo Lake; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
