Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Port Wing receives roughly an uncharted amount of precipitation each year, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 124 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near May 31 and the first fall freeze near October 2. For energy use, 8,906 heating degree days and 248 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Port Wing scores 39/100 (Below Average), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, July-driven heat at the peak of summer, and January-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
