The year, day by day
New Harmony works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 90°F by July 18 and hold at or above 90°F on 18 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 157 dates, bottoming at 20°F around December 19.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 12 through July 29, covering 18 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 9 to October 11.
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 April 6, then returns to freezing around November 2, covering 157 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 February 21, when 25% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is June 19 at 9%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 61 wet dates a year.
The widest day
June 14 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 34°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where New Harmony Stands Nationally
Daily temperature swings run wider than most of the country, peaking near 34°F between the normal high and low.

New Harmony's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 35% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 18%. That is the cool-season-dominant pattern of the West Coast and the higher inland West, where storm tracks swing south in winter and summer turns dry; the thermometer meanwhile shows a 41.5°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- February, 2.5"
- Driest month
- June, 0.4"
- Wettest three months
- February, January, March (37% of the year)
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A cool-season label means the December-February share reaches 35%. Where snow falls, the monthly figures above report liquid-equivalent precipitation, so a wet winter month is not necessarily a rainy one.
How New Harmony's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 60 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 17.6" between them, or roughly 0.29 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.
Winter brings real snow to New Harmony
New Harmony averages 38.1 inches of snowfall a year, with February the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 14 days that record measurable snow. That is depth accumulating on the ground, which is why it can exceed the annual precipitation figure: precipitation counts the liquid the snow melts down to, and fresh snow is mostly air.
- Annual snowfall: 38.1 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 14 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 22% of the year's precipitation.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. The ten-to-one ratio is a convention, not a measurement: real ratios vary with temperature, so treat the share as an order of magnitude rather than an exact split.

Snow and freeze rhythm
When cold and snow define New Harmony
heating led · dry · mid swing
New Harmony's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,536 annual heating degree days against 683 for cooling. Its 41.5°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
New Harmony's frost-free season lasts about 155 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
-
