The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Mcmillin Rsvr: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 33°F near December 16 and 78°F near August 1.
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 33°F around December 16.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is November 29, when 66% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 1 at 13%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 167 wet dates a year.
The widest day
July 29 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 24°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Mcmillin Rsvr's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 36% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 9%. 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 25.5°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- November, 7.1"
- Driest month
- August, 0.9"
- Wettest three months
- November, January, December (42% of the year)
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 Mcmillin Rsvr's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 166 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 45.1" between them, or roughly 0.27 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.
Snow reaches Mcmillin Rsvr, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 5.6 inches of snow a year here, most likely in January. 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 4 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 Mcmillin Rsvr's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · low swing
Heating is the larger measured load in Mcmillin Rsvr, at 5,397 degree days versus 120 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 25.5°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.
Mcmillin Rsvr's frost-free season lasts about 202 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
Mcmillin Rsvr's 25.5°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 51°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
Alongside its heating load, Mcmillin Rsvr carries 45.1 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Annual snowfall totals 5.6 inches. That distinction matters because a wet annual total can arrive as rain, snow, or a mixture at different times.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Mcmillin Rsvr'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 Mcmillin Rsvr, 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 Mcmillin Rsvr's primary station: MCMILLIN RSVR (USC00455224). 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 Mcmillin Rsvr; 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 Mcmillin Rsvr comes from its primary NOAA station record.
