The year, day by day
The year in Madisonville runs from a mild 36°F around January 4 to 97°F at the peak near August 7, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 4 through September 20, covering 109 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 7 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 36°F around January 4.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is February 13, when 26% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 2 at 16%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 79 wet dates a year.
The widest day
October 10 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 27°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Madisonville Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 109 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
Madisonville earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Madisonville spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 22% of the annual total and December through February 26%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Madisonville has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 34.4°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 4.9" and July 2.9". The three wettest months together take 30% 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 Madisonville, it arrives in quantity
46.8" of precipitation falls across only about 79 wet days here, averaging 0.59 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.

- about 79 a year, 22% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.59 inches
- Most wet days
- February, about 8
- Fewest wet days
- August, about 5
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.
Snow reaches Madisonville, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 0.5 inches of snow a year here, most likely in February. That is a real but marginal amount: enough that snow is part of the local record, not enough to define the winter.
A figure in this range usually reflects a handful of events that melt quickly rather than a season of accumulation; about 0 days a year record any measurable snow at all.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. An average across thirty years can smooth away a single heavy winter, so a small annual figure does not mean a significant snowfall is impossible.

Data-derived climate profile
How Madisonville's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · wet · mid swing
Water is prominent even though neither heating nor cooling wholly defines the record. Madisonville averages 46.8 inches of precipitation a year. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. The monthly table supplies the seasonal distribution hidden by that annual total.
August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Madisonville's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 34.4°F. The annual average is 67°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Madisonville's normal, at 1,888 and 2,678 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.
The frost-free window extends for about 240 days. That is a long calendar measure, but it is not a forecast and does not combine heat, rainfall, soil, or local elevation into a planting recommendation.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Madisonville'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 Madisonville, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.
