The year, day by day
Medicine Park works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 96°F by July 31 and hold at or above 90°F on 74 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 55 dates, bottoming at 31°F around January 1.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 20 through September 1, covering 74 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 5 to October 26.
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.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into February 6, then returns to freezing around December 14, covering 55 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
August 4 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 23°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Medicine Park Stands Nationally
Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 74 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.
Days and nights track unusually close together; the widest normal swing, about 23°F, is narrower than most stations record.
Medicine Park earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Medicine Park spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 30% of the annual total and December through February 13%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Medicine Park has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 42.3°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 4.8" and January 1.3". The three wettest months together take 38% 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Medicine Park's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · moderate · mid swing
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Medicine Park's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 42.3°F. The annual average is 62°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Medicine Park's normal, at 3,191 and 2,154 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.
A roughly 236-day frost-free season sits inside this mixed heating-and-cooling profile. Start and end dates matter because both sides of the thermostat register during a normal year.
Medicine Park's 32.3 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Medicine Park'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 Medicine Park, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.
