The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Newport: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 39°F near December 16 and 64°F near August 21.
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 39°F around December 16.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is November 30, when 70% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 25 at 16%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 174 wet dates a year.
The widest day
September 28 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 16°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Newport Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 67 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 16°F.
Newport earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Newport's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 45% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 5%. 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 an unusually narrow 13.4°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- December, 11.6"
- Driest month
- July, 0.6"
- Wettest three months
- December, January, November (48% 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.
When it rains in Newport, it arrives in quantity
67.3" of precipitation falls across only about 171 wet days here, averaging 0.39 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 171 a year, 47% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.39 inches
- Most wet days
- March, about 21
- Fewest wet days
- July, 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.
Snow reaches Newport, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 0.1 inches of snow a year here, most likely in December. 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 0 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 Newport's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · low swing
Heating is the larger measured load in Newport, at 5,238 degree days versus 3 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 13.4°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.
The frost-free window extends for about 251 days. That is a long calendar measure, but it is not a forecast and does not combine heat, rainfall, soil, or local elevation into a planting recommendation.
Newport's 13.4°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 51°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
Alongside its heating load, Newport carries 67.3 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. 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 Newport'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 Newport, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
