The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Princeville Rch: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 62°F near January 18 and 86°F near August 15.
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 62°F around January 18.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is July 20, when 86% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is January 22 at 58%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 266 wet dates a year.
The widest day
January 18 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 17°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Princeville Rch Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 75 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 17°F.
Princeville Rch earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Princeville Rch spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 22% of the annual total and December through February 27%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Princeville Rch has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry an unusually narrow 7.8°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: March averages 8.3" and June 5.0". 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 Princeville Rch's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 266 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 75.2" between them, or roughly 0.28 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.
Princeville Rch'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 Princeville Rch's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · wet · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Princeville Rch. Cooling totals 3,208 degree days, more than double the 4 heating measure, and the 7.8°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
Warm-season demand is paired with a wet annual normal: 75.2 inches of precipitation at Princeville Rch. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. The month-by-month bars distinguish a concentrated wet season from moisture spread across the calendar.
Princeville Rch's 7.8°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and February 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 Princeville Rch. 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 Princeville Rch'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 Princeville Rch that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Princeville Rch's primary station: PRINCEVILLE RCH 1117 (USC00518165). 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 Princeville Rch; 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 Princeville Rch comes from its primary NOAA station record.
