The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 87°F around July 26, short of 90°F on every date, while 208 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 9°F near January 3.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 2, then returns to freezing around October 8, covering 208 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
August 3 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 37°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Logan Landfill Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 208 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 37°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.
Logan Landfill earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Logan Landfill spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 35% of the annual total and December through February 9%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Logan Landfill has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 45.7°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: June averages 2.8" and January 0.4". The three wettest months together take 46% 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 Logan Landfill's climate pattern fits together
heating led · dry · mid swing
Logan Landfill's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 8,291 annual heating degree days against 196 for cooling. Its 45.7°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 112 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.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Logan Landfill's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 45.7°F. The annual average is 43°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Logan Landfill's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 15.5 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 Logan Landfill'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 Logan Landfill, 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 Logan Landfill's primary station: LOGAN LANDFILL (USC00245123). 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 Logan Landfill; 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 Logan Landfill comes from its primary NOAA station record.
