The year, day by day
The year in Quincy runs from a mild 40°F around January 19 to 92°F at the peak near July 19, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 16 through August 30, covering 76 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 3 to November 27.
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 40°F around January 19.
The widest day
March 1 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 26°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Quincy Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 60 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 76 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.
Quincy earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Quincy spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 32% of the annual total and December through February 22%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Quincy has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry an unusually narrow 29.6°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: July averages 7.0" and November 3.6". 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Quincy's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · wet · low swing
Water is prominent even though neither heating nor cooling wholly defines the record. Quincy averages 59.8 inches of precipitation a year. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The monthly table supplies the seasonal distribution hidden by that annual total.
Quincy's 29.6°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 67°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
Quincy combines a compact 29.6°F annual temperature range with meaningful demand on both sides of the thermostat: 1,600 heating and 2,495 cooling degree days. The balance matters more here than either annual total in isolation.
The frost-free window extends for about 254 days. That is a long calendar measure, but it is not a forecast and does not combine heat, rainfall, soil, or local elevation into a planting recommendation.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Quincy's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like Quincy, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.
