The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 86°F around July 13, short of 90°F on every date, while 56 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 29°F near January 26.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into February 23, then returns to freezing around December 30, covering 56 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
October 20 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 16°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Margate's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Margate's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 4,189 annual heating degree days against 1,255 for cooling. Its 41.6°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
The frost-free window extends for about 241 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.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Margate's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 41.6°F. The annual average is 57°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Margate's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Margate'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 Margate, 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 Margate's primary station: MARGATE (USC00285243). 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 Margate; 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 Margate comes from its primary NOAA station record. No figure on this page is typed in by an editor - each value is rendered from NOAA 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals.
