The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 80°F around July 19, short of 90°F on every date, while 181 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 4°F near January 30.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 21, then returns to freezing around October 24, covering 181 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 June 22, when 44% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is March 13 at 29%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 132 wet dates a year.
The widest day
September 2 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 27°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Livermore Falls Stands Nationally
Freezing is routine here by normals standards — the normal low reaches 32°F or colder on about 181 nights a year, more than most ranked stations.

Livermore Falls spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 26% of the annual total and December through February 23%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Livermore Falls has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 51.2°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: October averages 5.2" and February 3.0". 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 Livermore Falls, it arrives in quantity
47.2" of precipitation falls across only about 132 wet days here, averaging 0.36 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 132 a year, 36% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.36 inches
- Most wet days
- June, about 14
- Fewest wet days
- March, about 9
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 Livermore Falls
Livermore Falls averages 91.2 inches of snowfall a year, with February the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 32 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: 91.2 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 32 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 19% 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 Livermore Falls
heating led · wet · mid swing
Livermore Falls's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 8,205 annual heating degree days against 286 for cooling. Its 51.2°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 141 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.
