The year, day by day
The year in Lumpkin runs from a mild 34°F around January 16 to 92°F at the peak near August 9, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 5 through September 8, covering 96 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 6 to November 18.
This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.
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 34°F around January 16.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is June 27, when 32% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is October 15 at 15%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 81 wet dates a year.
The widest day
November 10 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 32°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Lumpkin Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 96 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
The normal water year runs well above the national norm at roughly 53 inches.
Lumpkin earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Lumpkin spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 28% of the annual total and December through February 26%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Lumpkin has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 32.9°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: July averages 5.7" and September 3.4". The three wettest months together take 31% 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 Lumpkin, it arrives in quantity
52.8" of precipitation falls across only about 81 wet days here, averaging 0.65 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 81 a year, 22% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.65 inches
- Most wet days
- June, about 10
- Fewest wet days
- October, about 4
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.
Lumpkin's record shows no measurable snowfall
This station measured snowfall across the 1991-2020 period and recorded none: the annual normal is 0.0 inches. That is a measured zero rather than missing data, which is a meaningful distinction here , most stations in the database simply do not report snow at all, and those pages say nothing about it.
A thirty-year normal of zero describes the typical year at this station. It is not a claim that snow has never fallen in the area.

Data-derived climate profile
How Lumpkin's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · wet · mid swing
Water is prominent even though neither heating nor cooling wholly defines the record. Lumpkin averages 52.8 inches of precipitation a year. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. The monthly table supplies the seasonal distribution hidden by that annual total.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Lumpkin's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 32.9°F. The annual average is 64°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Lumpkin's normal, at 2,289 and 2,038 degree days respectively. Neither total exceeds the other by more than two to one, so the record is better read as a mixed-demand calendar than as heating-led or cooling-led.
A roughly 217-day frost-free season sits inside this mixed heating-and-cooling profile. Start and end dates matter because both sides of the thermostat register during a normal year.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Lumpkin's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like Lumpkin, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.
