The year, day by day
The year in Point Comfort runs from a mild 45°F around January 9 to 93°F at the peak near August 8, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 20 through September 7, covering 80 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs February 29 to November 29.
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.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 45°F around January 9.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is September 6, when 30% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is April 26 at 18%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 87 wet dates a year.
The widest day
November 30 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 19°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Point Comfort Stands Nationally
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 19°F.
Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 80 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.
Point Comfort earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Point Comfort spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 28% of the annual total and December through February 19%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Point Comfort has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 30.5°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: June averages 4.8" and February 1.8". The three wettest months together take 34% 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.
When it rains in Point Comfort, it arrives in quantity
41.4" of precipitation falls across only about 87 wet days here, averaging 0.48 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 87 a year, 24% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.48 inches
- Most wet days
- September, about 9
- Fewest wet days
- April, about 5
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.
Point Comfort's record shows no measurable snowfall
This station measured snowfall across the 1991-2020 period and recorded none: the annual normal is 0.0 inches. That is a measured zero rather than missing data, which is a meaningful distinction here , most stations in the database simply do not report snow at all, and those pages say nothing about it.
A thirty-year normal of zero describes the typical year at this station. It is not a claim that snow has never fallen in the area.

Data-derived climate profile
How Point Comfort's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · moderate · mid swing
Air-conditioning demand is the clearest thermal signal here. Point Comfort accumulates 3,341 cooling degree days, more than twice its 1,032 heating total; the monthly table shows when that imbalance builds rather than treating it as a year-round condition.
Point Comfort's 41.4 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Point Comfort's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 30.5°F. The annual average is 71°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
The frost-free window extends for about 323 days. That is a long calendar measure, but it is not a forecast and does not combine heat, rainfall, soil, or local elevation into a planting recommendation.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Point Comfort's primary station, so the summer figures are a thirty-year average rather than a ceiling: individual years have run hotter and will again. For Point Comfort that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.
