The year, day by day
Rome R B Russell works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 91°F by July 16 and hold at or above 90°F on 59 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 23 dates, bottoming at 32°F around January 13.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 27 through August 24, covering 59 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 31 to October 28.
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.
The freezing stretch
Freezing normal lows persist into January 27, covering 23 dates.
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.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is June 27, when 40% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is September 10 at 26%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 126 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 17 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 26°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Rome R B Russell spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 22% of the annual total and December through February 29%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Rome R B Russell has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 37.9°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: December averages 5.0" and September 3.4". 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.
When it rains in Rome R B Russell, it arrives in quantity
50.7" of precipitation falls across only about 126 wet days here, averaging 0.40 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.

- about 126 a year, 35% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.40 inches

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 Rome R B Russell's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · wet · mid swing
Water is prominent even though neither heating nor cooling wholly defines the record. Rome R B Russell averages 50.7 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.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Rome R B Russell's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 37.9°F. The annual average is 62°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Rome R B Russell's normal, at 2,974 and 1,838 degree days respectively. Neither total exceeds the other by more than two to one, so the record is better read as a mixed-demand calendar than as heating-led or cooling-led.
A roughly 219-day frost-free season sits inside this mixed heating-and-cooling profile. Start and end dates matter because both sides of the thermostat register during a normal year.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Rome R B Russell'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 Rome R B Russell, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

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 Rome R B Russell; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
