The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 88°F around July 20, short of 90°F on every date, while 113 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 18°F near January 16.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 12, then returns to freezing around November 21, covering 113 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 May 4, when 40% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is January 27 at 21%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 105 wet dates a year.
The widest day
September 29 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 23°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Long Branch Rsvr spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 32% of the annual total and December through February 13%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Long Branch Rsvr has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 50.7°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: June averages 5.5" and January 1.6". The three wettest months together take 36% 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 Long Branch Rsvr, it arrives in quantity
41.9" of precipitation falls across only about 104 wet days here, averaging 0.40 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 104 a year, 29% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.40 inches
- Most wet days
- May, about 12
- Fewest wet days
- February, about 6
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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Long Branch Rsvr's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Long Branch Rsvr's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,306 annual heating degree days against 1,308 for cooling. Its 50.7°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Long Branch Rsvr's frost-free season lasts about 203 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Long Branch Rsvr's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 50.7°F. The annual average is 54°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Long Branch Rsvr's 41.9 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Long Branch Rsvr'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 Long Branch Rsvr, 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 Long Branch Rsvr's primary station: LONG BRANCH RSVR (USC00235050). 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 Long Branch Rsvr; 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 Long Branch Rsvr comes from its primary NOAA station record.
