The year, day by day
The year in Port Salerno runs from a mild 53°F around January 19 to 91°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 30 through August 31, covering 63 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs January 1 to December 31.
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 53°F around January 19.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is August 27, when 58% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is March 2 at 22%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 134 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 12 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 22°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Port Salerno Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 64 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 63 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.
Port Salerno earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Port Salerno runs a summer-peaked wet season
40% of Port Salerno'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 9.6", on an unusually narrow 18.6°F seasonal spread. 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, September, August, taking 43% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: February at 2.3".
- Winter share: 13% 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.
When it rains in Port Salerno, it arrives in quantity
64.2" of precipitation falls across only about 134 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.

- about 134 a year, 37% of all days
- Average depth per wet day

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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Port Salerno's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · wet · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Port Salerno. Cooling totals 3,528 degree days, more than double the 337 heating measure, and the 18.6°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
Warm-season demand is paired with a wet annual normal: 64.2 inches of precipitation at Port Salerno. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The month-by-month bars distinguish a concentrated wet season from moisture spread across the calendar.
Port Salerno's 18.6°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 74°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Port Salerno. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Port Salerno'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 Port Salerno that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.
