The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 81°F around July 24, short of 90°F on every date, while 233 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 14°F near December 22.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 12, then returns to freezing around September 23, covering 233 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Red River Ranger Station's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Red River Ranger Station's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 8,633 annual heating degree days against 46 for cooling. Its 37.1°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Red River Ranger Station. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Red River Ranger Station's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 37.1°F. The annual average is 41°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Red River Ranger Station's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Red River Ranger Station'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 Red River Ranger Station, 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 Red River Ranger Station's primary station: RED RIVER RS (USC00107563). 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 Red River Ranger Station; 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 Red River Ranger Station comes from its primary NOAA station record. No figure on this page is typed in by an editor - each value is rendered from NOAA 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals.
