Methodology

Across 51 complete annual observations from 1943 to 2018, NAPLES warmed at a fitted rate of 0.07°C per decade. The line shows the fitted change relative to its first year, not raw year-to-year temperatures or a forecast.

The year, day by day

The year in Naples runs from a mild 51°F around January 13 to 91°F at the peak near August 3, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.

When the heat sits

Normal highs reach 90°F from June 27 through September 9, covering 75 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs January 1 to December 31.

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 51°F around January 13.

Where the wet dates fall

The likeliest wet date is August 17, when 62% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is March 7 at 18%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 132 wet dates a year.

The widest day

January 23 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 23°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Naples Stands Nationally

This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 61 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.

Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 75 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.

Naples earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Naples runs a summer-peaked wet season

49% of Naples's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is August at 10.8", on an unusually narrow 18.8°F seasonal spread. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.

Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.

When it rains in Naples, it arrives in quantity

61.3" of precipitation falls across only about 132 wet days here, averaging 0.46 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.

Average depth per wet day
0.46 inches
Most wet days

Fewest wet days
March, about 5

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.

Naples'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 Naples's climate pattern fits together

cooling led · wet · low swing

Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Naples. Cooling totals 3,465 degree days, more than double the 344 heating measure, and the 18.8°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.

Warm-season demand is paired with a wet annual normal: 61.3 inches of precipitation at Naples. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. The month-by-month bars distinguish a concentrated wet season from moisture spread across the calendar.

Naples's 18.8°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 74°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.

A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Naples. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.

These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Naples's primary station, so the summer figures are a thirty-year average rather than a ceiling: individual years have run hotter and will again. For Naples that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.

Questions about Naples's climate

How much rain does Naples get?
Naples receives 61.3 inches of precipitation. Based on NOAA 30-year climate normals (1991-2020).
How many days above 90°F does Naples get?
Naples averages about 121 days a year at or above 90°F, concentrated in August and the months either side of it. That is a count of days reaching the threshold, not a measure of how far above it they go.
How much energy does heating and cooling require in Naples?
Naples has 344 heating degree days and 3,465 cooling degree days annually, a cooling-dominated climate. Degree-day definitions: reading weather data.
