The year, day by day
The year in Moultrie runs from a mild 39°F around January 10 to 90°F at the peak near July 18, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 5 through August 6, covering 33 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 13 to November 10.
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 39°F around January 10.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is July 30, when 41% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is October 29 at 17%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 99 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 20 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 23°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Moultrie Stands Nationally
The normal water year runs well above the national norm at roughly 50 inches.

Moultrie spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 32% of the annual total and December through February 25%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Moultrie has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 30.9°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: June averages 5.7" and May 2.7". The three wettest months together take 33% 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.
When it rains in Moultrie, it arrives in quantity
50.0" of precipitation falls across only about 99 wet days here, averaging 0.51 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 99 a year, 27% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.51 inches
- Most wet days
- August, about 12
- Fewest wet days
- October, about 6
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, and a per-day average is not a forecast of any individual storm.
Moultrie'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 Moultrie's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · wet · mid swing
Water is prominent even though neither heating nor cooling wholly defines the record. Moultrie averages 50.0 inches of precipitation a year. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. The monthly table supplies the seasonal distribution hidden by that annual total.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Moultrie's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 30.9°F. The annual average is 66°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Moultrie's normal, at 1,779 and 2,286 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 266 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.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Moultrie'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 Moultrie, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.
