Climate Insight: Palm Coast, FL
An annual average temperature of 71°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 78°F to a mean daily low of 65°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Palm Coast, Florida. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00086767 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Beyond temperature, Palm Coast averages 51.4 inches of precipitation annually, predominantly as rainfall - a real factor for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. The frost-free season averages -13 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near January 24 and the first fall freeze near January 11. Turning to energy use, 792 heating degree days and 3,143 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Palm Coast scores 74/100 (Good), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat at the peak of summer, and January-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
