The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 89°F around July 8, short of 90°F on every date, while 87 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 26°F near January 20.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 4, then returns to freezing around December 9, covering 87 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 May 9, when 48% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is September 10 at 28%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 142 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 14 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 28°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Pea Ridge Psd spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 31% of the annual total and December through February 22%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Pea Ridge Psd has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 42.3°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: July averages 5.7" and November 2.9". The three wettest months together take 32% 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.
How Pea Ridge Psd's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 142 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 46.6" between them, or roughly 0.33 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.
Snow reaches Pea Ridge Psd, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 9.6 inches of snow a year here, most likely in January. 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 9 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 Pea Ridge Psd's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Pea Ridge Psd's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 4,166 annual heating degree days against 1,404 for cooling. Its 42.3°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Pea Ridge Psd's frost-free season lasts about 207 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Pea Ridge Psd's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 42.3°F. The annual average is 57°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, Pea Ridge Psd carries 46.6 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Annual snowfall totals 9.6 inches. That distinction matters because a wet annual total can arrive as rain, snow, or a mixture at different times.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Pea Ridge Psd'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 Pea Ridge Psd, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead 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 Pea Ridge Psd; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
