The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 90°F around July 10, short of 90°F on every date, while 74 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 28°F near January 16.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into February 24, then returns to freezing around December 13, covering 74 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.
The widest day
April 8 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 28°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
New Hill spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 30% of the annual total and December through February 21%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. New Hill has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 39°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: September averages 5.7" and February 3.0". 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How New Hill's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
New Hill's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 3,572 annual heating degree days against 1,495 for cooling. Its 39.0°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
New Hill's frost-free season lasts about 211 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in New Hill's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 39.0°F. The annual average is 59°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, New Hill carries 47.1 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. That distinction matters because a wet annual total can arrive as rain, snow, or a mixture at different times.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from New Hill'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 New Hill, 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 New Hill's primary station: NEW HILL (USC00316122). 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 New Hill; 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 New Hill comes from its primary NOAA station record. No figure on this page is typed in by an editor - each value is rendered from NOAA 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals.
