The year, day by day
Roosevelt Radio works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 94°F by July 17 and hold at or above 90°F on 55 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 199 dates, bottoming at 1°F around January 10.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 26 through August 19, covering 55 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 1 to October 8.
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
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 25, then returns to freezing around October 10, covering 199 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.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is May 3, when 20% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is June 25 at 11%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 59 wet dates a year.
The widest day
June 27 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 43°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Roosevelt Radio Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 199 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.
Aridity defines the water calendar: about 7 inches in a normal year lands this among the driest tenth of ranked stations.

Roosevelt Radio spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 21% of the annual total and December through February 20%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Roosevelt Radio has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 56.1°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: September averages 1.0" and November 0.4". The three wettest months together take 37% 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.
Roosevelt Radio is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 59 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 16% of the calendar, and they carry 7.4" between them. At roughly 0.13 inches on an average wet day, this is not the damp drizzle of a marine climate; it is an arid record in which precipitation is both uncommon and light when it appears.
The wettest month by count is May at about 6 wet days; the driest is June at about 3.
A low per-event average in a dry record is a statement about typical days only. Arid regions can still take a large share of a year's total from a single convective storm, which a normal cannot show.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, not the extremes within it.
Winter brings real snow to Roosevelt Radio
Roosevelt Radio averages 16.4 inches of snowfall a year, with January the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 10 days that record measurable snow. That is depth accumulating on the ground, which is why it can exceed the annual precipitation figure: precipitation counts the liquid the snow melts down to, and fresh snow is mostly air.
- Annual snowfall: 16.4 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 10 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 22% of the year's precipitation.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. The ten-to-one ratio is a convention, not a measurement: real ratios vary with temperature, so treat the share as an order of magnitude rather than an exact split.

Snow and freeze rhythm
When cold and snow define Roosevelt Radio
heating led · dry · high swing
Winter and seasonal range jointly define this record. Roosevelt Radio logs 7,327 heating degree days, more than twice its 511 cooling total, while the typical coldest-to-warmest-month gap reaches 56.1°F. The annual mean therefore compresses two materially different seasons.
Only about 122 days are frost-free in a normal year. That short interval is consistent with the cold-season signal, but the measure does not predict the exact first or last freeze in any one year.

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 Roosevelt Radio; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
