What MD Sci Ctr Baltimore's climate means for you
MD Sci Ctr Baltimore runs 59°F a year - peaking in July, coldest in January.
These are 30-year NOAA normals (1991–2020) - the typical year, not a forecast for any specific season.
MD Sci Ctr Baltimore, Maryland runs an annual average of 59°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 67°F to a mean daily low of 51°F, per NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. Drawn from station USW00093784, these thirty-year averages smooth out year-to-year swings into a baseline for what a typical month looks like here.
Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. MD Sci Ctr Baltimore sees about 43.7 inches of precipitation a year, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 242 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near March 24 and the first fall freeze near November 21. On the energy side, 3,858 heating degree days and 1,749 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, MD Sci Ctr Baltimore scores 82/100 (Excellent), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat at the peak of summer, and January-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
