The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 61°F around August 7, short of 90°F on every date, while 166 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 25°F near January 1.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 15, then returns to freezing around November 2, covering 166 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
May 20 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 13°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Ouzinkie's climate pattern fits together
heating led · low swing
Heating is the larger measured load in Ouzinkie, at 8,919 degree days versus 0 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 24.2°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.
Only about 148 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.
Temperature varies within a narrow 24.2°F band across the normal year. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 41°F. Monthly rows still matter, but they refine a steady profile rather than reveal two climatic extremes.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Ouzinkie's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Ouzinkie'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 Ouzinkie, 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 Ouzinkie's primary station: OUZINKIE (USC00506853). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The 2024 Census Gazetteer identifies the exact name-and-state match as an incorporated place (GEOID 0258550). Match rule for Ouzinkie: exact normalized name + state only, no fuzzy expansion, so nearby differently spelled facilities stay unmatched.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Ouzinkie comes from its primary NOAA station record.
