The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 89°F around July 30, short of 90°F on every date, while 97 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 23°F near January 17.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 4, then returns to freezing around November 29, covering 97 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 April 30, when 39% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 28 at 22%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 113 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 4 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 24°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Newburgh L&d spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 23% of the annual total and December through February 24%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Newburgh L&d has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 45.3°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: April averages 5.0" and October 3.1". The three wettest months together take 31% 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 Newburgh L&d, it arrives in quantity
47.6" of precipitation falls across only about 113 wet days here, averaging 0.42 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 113 a year, 31% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.42 inches
- Most wet days
- March, about 12
- Fewest wet days
- August, about 7
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.
Snow reaches Newburgh L&d, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 6.6 inches of snow a year here, most likely in February. That is a real but marginal amount: enough that snow is part of the local record, not enough to define the winter.
A figure in this range usually reflects a handful of events that melt quickly rather than a season of accumulation; about 5 days a year record any measurable snow at all.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. An average across thirty years can smooth away a single heavy winter, so a small annual figure does not mean a significant snowfall is impossible.

Data-derived climate profile
How Newburgh L&d's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Newburgh L&d's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 4,358 annual heating degree days against 1,511 for cooling. Its 45.3°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Newburgh L&d's frost-free season lasts about 213 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 Newburgh L&d's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 45.3°F. The annual average is 57°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, Newburgh L&d carries 47.6 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Annual snowfall totals 6.6 inches. 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 Newburgh L&d'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 Newburgh L&d, 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 Newburgh L&d's primary station: NEWBURGH L&D (USC00126151). 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 Newburgh L&d; 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 Newburgh L&d comes from its primary NOAA station record.
