The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 77°F around July 15, short of 90°F on every date, while 175 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 8°F near January 28.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 24, then returns to freezing around November 2, covering 175 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
June 7 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 23°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Average monthly rainfall
Newberry Correctional Facility spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 28% of the annual total and December through February 18%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Newberry Correctional Facility has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 49.2°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: October averages 4.3" and February 1.3". The three wettest months together take 34% 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 Newberry Correctional Facility's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Newberry Correctional Facility's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 8,620 annual heating degree days against 222 for cooling. Its 49.2°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 137 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 Newberry Correctional Facility's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 49.2°F. The annual average is 42°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Newberry Correctional Facility's 33.8 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 Newberry Correctional Facility'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 Newberry Correctional Facility, 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 Newberry Correctional Facility's primary station: NEWBERRY CORRECTIONAL FACILITY (USC00205816). 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 Newberry Correctional Facility; 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 Newberry Correctional Facility comes from its primary NOAA station record.
