The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Livermore Muni: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 37°F near January 1 and 88°F near July 14.
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 37°F around January 1.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is February 18, when 37% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 13 at 0%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 61 wet dates a year.
The widest day
July 6 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 31°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Livermore Muni Stands Nationally
A drier-than-most normal water year — around 15 inches, below what four out of five ranked stations collect.
Livermore Muni earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Livermore Muni's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 56% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 2%. 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 an unusually narrow 24.6°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- February, 2.9"
- Driest month
- July, 0.0"
- Wettest three months
- February, January, December (56% 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.
How Livermore Muni's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 61 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 15.2" between them, or roughly 0.25 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.

Data-derived climate profile
How Livermore Muni's climate pattern fits together
heating led · dry · low swing
Heating is the larger measured load in Livermore Muni, at 2,709 degree days versus 848 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 24.6°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.
Livermore Muni has a long frost-free window of roughly 277 days, but the dry annual profile is a separate constraint. Growing-season length says when freezes are unlikely, not whether rainfall is sufficient.
The calendar stays thermally compact and dry. July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar, only 24.6°F apart, while the annual precipitation total remains below PlainClimate's dry threshold. The annual average is 60°F. The monthly rows show whether that limited precipitation is spread through the year or concentrated in a shorter interval.
Livermore Muni's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 15.2 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 Livermore Muni'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 Livermore Muni, 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 Livermore Muni's primary station: LIVERMORE MUNI AP (USW00023285). 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 Livermore Muni; 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 Livermore Muni comes from its primary NOAA station record.
