Climate Insight: Lost Rvr, WV
An annual average temperature of 51°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 63°F to a mean daily low of 38°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Lost Rvr, West Virginia. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00465453 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Anyone planning to live, garden, or travel in Lost Rvr should weigh precipitation alongside temperature: the annual average runs an uncharted amount, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 162 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near May 3 and the first fall freeze near October 12. And on the energy front, 5,722 heating degree days and 530 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Lost Rvr scores 49/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat at the peak of summer, and January-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
