The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 77°F around July 25, short of 90°F on every date, while 199 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 29, then returns to freezing around October 14, covering 199 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 25 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 26°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Pittston Farms Nepp Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 199 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.
Pittston Farms Nepp earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Pittston Farms Nepp spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 30% of the annual total and December through February 20%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Pittston Farms Nepp has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 53.8°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: June averages 5.0" and February 2.5". The three wettest months together take 31% 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Pittston Farms Nepp's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Pittston Farms Nepp's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 9,592 annual heating degree days against 139 for cooling. Its 53.8°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 123 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.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Pittston Farms Nepp's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 53.8°F. The annual average is 39°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, Pittston Farms Nepp carries 45.6 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. 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 Pittston Farms Nepp'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 Pittston Farms Nepp, 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 Pittston Farms Nepp's primary station: PITTSTON FARMS NEPP (USC00176722). 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 Pittston Farms Nepp; 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 Pittston Farms Nepp comes from its primary NOAA station record.
