The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 84°F around July 12, short of 90°F on every date, while 128 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 19°F near January 28.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 27, then returns to freezing around November 21, covering 128 dates in all.
Derived from the normal daily minimum. This is a different measure from the 50%-probability frost dates shown elsewhere on this page, which come from NOAA’s frost product.
The widest day
April 23 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 22°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Raystown Headquarters Stands Nationally
Days and nights track unusually close together; the widest normal swing, about 22°F, is narrower than most stations record.
Raystown Headquarters earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Raystown Headquarters spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 29% of the annual total and December through February 20%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Raystown Headquarters has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 45.7°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: July averages 4.3" and February 2.3". The three wettest months together take 30% 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 Raystown Headquarters's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Raystown Headquarters's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,684 annual heating degree days against 835 for cooling. Its 45.7°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Raystown Headquarters's frost-free season lasts about 193 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Raystown Headquarters's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 45.7°F. The annual average is 52°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Raystown Headquarters's 41.7 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Raystown Headquarters'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 Raystown Headquarters, 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 Raystown Headquarters's primary station: RAYSTOWN HQ (USC00367313). 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 Raystown Headquarters; 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 Raystown Headquarters comes from its primary NOAA station record.
