Climate Insight: Raymond, WA
Based on station USC00456914 feeding NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals, Raymond, Washington averages 50°F a year, ranging from a mean daily high of 59°F to a mean daily low of 40°F. August is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. Because these figures are thirty-year averages rather than any single year's readings, they describe the typical month, not a forecast for it.
Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Raymond receives roughly 83.7 inches of precipitation each year, with 1.1 inches typically falling as snow. The frost-free season averages 174 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near April 26 and the first fall freeze near October 17. For energy use, 5,572 heating degree days and 44 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Raymond scores 49/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows, shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for August-driven heat, or deep winter for December-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
