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 December 25.

Where the wet dates fall

The likeliest wet date is February 11, when 38% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 27 at 0%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 62 wet dates a year.

The widest day

July 24 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 37°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Martinez Wtp's wet season runs through the cold months

December, January and February carry 59% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 1%. That is the cool-season-dominant pattern of the West Coast and the higher inland West, where storm tracks swing south in winter and summer turns dry; the thermometer meanwhile shows an unusually narrow 24.2°F seasonal spread.

Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A cool-season label means the December-February share reaches 35%. Where snow falls, the monthly figures above report liquid-equivalent precipitation, so a wet winter month is not necessarily a rainy one.

How Martinez Wtp's precipitation splits across the calendar

About 62 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 19.4" between them, or roughly 0.31 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.

A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.

Martinez Wtp'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 Martinez Wtp's climate pattern fits together

heating led · dry · low swing

Heating is the larger measured load in Martinez Wtp, at 3,026 degree days versus 544 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 24.2°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.

Martinez Wtp has a long frost-free window of roughly 267 days, but the dry annual profile is a separate constraint. Growing-season length says when freezes are unlikely, not whether rainfall is sufficient.

The calendar stays thermally compact and dry. July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar, only 24.2°F apart, while the annual precipitation total remains below PlainClimate's dry threshold. The annual average is 58°F. The monthly rows show whether that limited precipitation is spread through the year or concentrated in a shorter interval.

Martinez Wtp's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 19.4 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.

These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Martinez Wtp'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 Martinez Wtp, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Questions about Martinez Wtp's climate

How much rain does Martinez Wtp get?
Martinez Wtp receives 19.4 inches of precipitation. Based on NOAA 30-year climate normals (1991-2020).
How many days above 90°F does Martinez Wtp get?
Martinez Wtp averages about 47 days a year at or above 90°F, concentrated in July and the months either side of it. That is a count of days reaching the threshold, not a measure of how far above it they go.
How much energy does heating and cooling require in Martinez Wtp?
Martinez Wtp has 3,026 heating degree days and 544 cooling degree days annually, a heating-dominated climate. Degree-day definitions: reading weather data.

Data Sources

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Martinez Wtp's primary station: MARTINEZ WTP (USC00045378). 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 Martinez Wtp; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
