The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Puukolii: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 64°F near January 29 and 85°F near August 27.
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 64°F around January 29.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is December 14, when 32% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is June 4 at 15%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 83 wet dates a year.
The widest day
September 14 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 15°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Puukolii's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 37% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 10%. That is the cool-season-dominant pattern of the West Coast and the higher inland West, where storm tracks swing south in winter and summer turns dry; the thermometer meanwhile shows an unusually narrow 7.4°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- March, 3.7"
- Driest month
- June, 0.6"
- Wettest three months
- March, January, December (44% of the year)
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A cool-season label means the December-February share reaches 35%. Where snow falls, the monthly figures above report liquid-equivalent precipitation, so a wet winter month is not necessarily a rainy one.
How Puukolii's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 83 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 23.3" 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.
Puukolii'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 Puukolii's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · moderate · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Puukolii. Cooling totals 3,341 degree days, more than double the 1 heating measure, and the 7.4°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
Puukolii's 23.3 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.
Temperature varies within a narrow 7.4°F band across the normal year. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 74°F. Monthly rows still matter, but they refine a steady profile rather than reveal two climatic extremes.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Puukolii. 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 Puukolii's primary station, so the summer figures are a thirty-year average rather than a ceiling: individual years have run hotter and will again. They are descriptive ranges, not an official NOAA classification or a forecast for any specific year.
The year in four calendar signals
- Warmest normal
- August
- The month averages 78°F (25°C), a middling summer peak by national standards rather than an extreme one.
- Coldest normal
- January
- The coldest month still averages 70°F (21°C), above freezing, so this calendar has no hard winter.
- Rainfall rhythm
- March to June
- March is typically wettest; June is driest.
- Mild-temperature window
- January through December
- Monthly means sit between 55°F and 75°F in this window.

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. The reproducible method is an exact normalized name-and-state match; unresolved is an upper bound on facilities because spelling variants can be missed.
