The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 83°F around July 17, short of 90°F on every date, while 174 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 8°F near January 24.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 18, then returns to freezing around October 28, covering 174 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.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is June 23, when 39% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is January 26 at 28%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 123 wet dates a year.
The widest day
May 10 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 28°F between the normal high and the normal low.

N Springfield Lake spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 27% of the annual total and December through February 21%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. N Springfield Lake has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 50.7°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: October averages 5.1" and February 2.5". The three wettest months together take 30% 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 N Springfield Lake, it arrives in quantity
43.9" of precipitation falls across only about 122 wet days here, averaging 0.36 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.

- about 122 a year, 34% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.36 inches

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.

Data-derived climate profile
How N Springfield Lake's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
N Springfield Lake's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,524 annual heating degree days against 403 for cooling. Its 50.7°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 146 days are frost-free in a normal year. That short interval is consistent with the cold-season signal, but the measure does not predict the exact first or last freeze in any one year.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in N Springfield Lake's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 50.7°F. The annual average is 45°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
N Springfield Lake's 43.9 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 N Springfield Lake'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 N Springfield Lake, 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 N Springfield Lake's primary station: N SPRINGFIELD LAKE (USC00435982). 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 N Springfield Lake; 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 N Springfield Lake comes from its primary NOAA station record.
