The year, day by day
Pacific House works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 91°F by July 14 and hold at or above 90°F on 23 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 89 dates, bottoming at 30°F around December 16.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 7 through July 29, covering 23 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 5 to October 8.
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.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 6, then returns to freezing around November 30, covering 89 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 February 20, when 42% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 24 at 2%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 83 wet dates a year.
The widest day
July 4 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 38°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Pacific House Stands Nationally
Day-to-night contrast is extreme by national standards — the widest normal daily swing reaches about 38°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.
The normal water year runs well above the national norm at roughly 55 inches.
Pacific House earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Pacific House's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 51% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 2%. 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 a 35.3°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- January, 9.6"
- Driest month
- July, 0.0"
- Wettest three months
- January, December, March (51% 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 Pacific House, it arrives in quantity
54.5" of precipitation falls across only about 83 wet days here, averaging 0.66 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 83 a year, 23% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.66 inches
- Most wet days
- December, about 12
- Fewest wet days
- July, about 1
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.
Winter brings real snow to Pacific House
Pacific House averages 58.2 inches of snowfall a year, with February the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 18 days that record measurable snow. That is depth accumulating on the ground, which is why it can exceed the annual precipitation figure: precipitation counts the liquid the snow melts down to, and fresh snow is mostly air.
- Annual snowfall: 58.2 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 18 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 11% of the year's precipitation.

Snow and freeze rhythm
When cold and snow define Pacific House
heating led · wet · mid swing
Pacific House's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 4,977 annual heating degree days against 594 for cooling. Its 35.3°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Pacific House's frost-free season lasts about 190 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
-
1. Pacific House coldest normal

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Pacific House's primary station: PACIFIC HOUSE (USC00046597). 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 Pacific House; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
