The year, day by day
The year in Medina runs from a mild 35°F around January 1 to 96°F at the peak near August 5, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 1 through September 13, covering 105 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 4 to November 16.
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.
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 35°F around January 1.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is May 11, when 39% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 2 at 18%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 115 wet dates a year.
The widest day
January 28 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 28°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Medina Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 105 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
Medina earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Medina spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 24% of the annual total and December through February 18%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Medina has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 33.3°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 5.5" and February 1.8". 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.
How Medina's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 115 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 36.3" between them, or roughly 0.32 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 Medina, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 0.2 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 0 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 Medina's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · moderate · mid swing
August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Medina's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 33.3°F. The annual average is 67°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Medina's normal, at 1,909 and 2,515 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.
The frost-free window extends for about 244 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.
Medina's 36.3 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Medina'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 Medina, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.
