The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Quillayute State: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 35°F near February 14 and 69°F near August 4.
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 35°F around February 14.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is December 17, when 73% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 31 at 26%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 203 wet dates a year.
The widest day
September 10 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 20°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Quillayute State Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 101 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 20°F.
Quillayute State earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Quillayute State's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 39% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 7%. 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 19°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- January, 15.6"
- Driest month
- July, 1.6"
- Wettest three months
- January, November, 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.
When it rains in Quillayute State, it arrives in quantity
101.3" of precipitation falls across only about 203 wet days here, averaging 0.50 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 203 a year, 56% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.50 inches
- Most wet days
- December, about 23
- Fewest wet days

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 Quillayute State's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · low swing
Heating is the larger measured load in Quillayute State, at 5,650 degree days versus 22 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 19.0°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.
Quillayute State's frost-free season lasts about 189 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
Quillayute State's 19.0°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 50°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
Alongside its heating load, Quillayute State carries 101.3 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. That distinction matters because a wet annual total can arrive as rain, snow, or a mixture at different times.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Quillayute State's primary station, so the winter figures are a thirty-year average and not a floor: a single hard season can run well below them. Treat each band as a descriptive range for Quillayute State, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Quillayute State's primary station: QUILLAYUTE STATE AP (USW00094240). 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 Quillayute State; 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 Quillayute State comes from its primary NOAA station record.
