The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 78°F around July 21, short of 90°F on every date, while 185 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 1°F near January 27.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 23, then returns to freezing around October 22, covering 185 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 1 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 23°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Park Falls Dnr Headquarters Stands Nationally
Freezing is routine here by normals standards — the normal low reaches 32°F or colder on about 185 nights a year, more than most ranked stations.
Days and nights track unusually close together; the widest normal swing, about 23°F, is narrower than most stations record.
Park Falls Dnr Headquarters earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Park Falls Dnr Headquarters runs a summer-peaked wet season
36% of Park Falls Dnr Headquarters's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is June at 4.4", on a wide 55.7°F gap between its warmest and coldest month. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: June, July, September, taking 37% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: February at 1.1".
- Winter share: 11% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.

Data-derived climate profile
How Park Falls Dnr Headquarters's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · high swing
Winter and seasonal range jointly define this record. Park Falls Dnr Headquarters logs 9,079 heating degree days, more than twice its 286 cooling total, while the typical coldest-to-warmest-month gap reaches 55.7°F. The annual mean therefore compresses two materially different seasons.
Only about 136 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.
Park Falls Dnr Headquarters's calendar has a pronounced split: July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar, with 55.7°F between them. The annual average is 41°F. That average is context, while the monthly highs, lows, and precipitation totals describe the lived parts of the year.
Park Falls Dnr Headquarters's 34.0 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Park Falls Dnr Headquarters'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 Park Falls Dnr Headquarters, 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 Park Falls Dnr Headquarters's primary station: PARK FALLS DNR HQ (USC00476398). 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 Park Falls Dnr Headquarters; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Park Falls Dnr Headquarters comes from its primary NOAA station record.
