The year, day by day
The year in Oberlin Fire Twr runs from a mild 39°F around January 11 to 92°F at the peak near August 7, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 11 through August 30, covering 51 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 15 to November 10.
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.
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 January 11.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is June 21, when 37% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is October 11 at 23%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 110 wet dates a year.
The widest day
October 20 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 23°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Oberlin Fire Twr Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 62 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Days and nights track unusually close together; the widest normal swing, about 23°F, is narrower than most stations record.
Oberlin Fire Twr earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Oberlin Fire Twr spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 27% of the annual total and December through February 27%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Oberlin Fire Twr has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 32.1°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: January averages 6.4" and March 4.1". The three wettest months together take 29% 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 Oberlin Fire Twr, it arrives in quantity
61.8" of precipitation falls across only about 109 wet days here, averaging 0.56 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 109 a year, 30% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.56 inches
- Most wet days
- June, about 11
- Fewest wet days
- October, 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 Oberlin Fire Twr, 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 Oberlin Fire Twr's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · wet · mid swing
Water is prominent even though neither heating nor cooling wholly defines the record. Oberlin Fire Twr averages 61.8 inches of precipitation a year. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. The monthly table supplies the seasonal distribution hidden by that annual total.
August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Oberlin Fire Twr's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 32.1°F. The annual average is 67°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Oberlin Fire Twr's normal, at 1,851 and 2,411 degree days respectively. Neither total exceeds the other by more than two to one, so the record is better read as a mixed-demand calendar than as heating-led or cooling-led.
The frost-free window extends for about 268 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.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Oberlin Fire Twr's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like Oberlin Fire Twr, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

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 Oberlin Fire Twr; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
