The year, day by day
The year in Royal Palm Ranger Station runs from a mild 55°F around January 16 to 93°F at the peak near July 28, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from May 27 through October 2, covering 129 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs January 1 to December 31.
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.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 55°F around January 16.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is August 26, when 62% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is January 16 at 20%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 136 wet dates a year.
The widest day
March 8 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 26°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Royal Palm Ranger Station Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 129 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 57 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Royal Palm Ranger Station earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Royal Palm Ranger Station runs a summer-peaked wet season
43% of Royal Palm Ranger Station's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is September at 9.0", on an unusually narrow 16.9°F seasonal spread. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: September, June, August, taking 46% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: January at 1.7".
- Winter share: 9% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
When it rains in Royal Palm Ranger Station, it arrives in quantity
57.4" of precipitation falls across only about 136 wet days here, averaging 0.42 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 136 a year, 37% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.42 inches
- Most wet days
- August, about 19
- Fewest wet days
- April, about 6
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.
Royal Palm Ranger Station's record shows no measurable snowfall
This station measured snowfall across the 1991-2020 period and recorded none: the annual normal is 0.0 inches. That is a measured zero rather than missing data, which is a meaningful distinction here , most stations in the database simply do not report snow at all, and those pages say nothing about it.
A thirty-year normal of zero describes the typical year at this station. It is not a claim that snow has never fallen in the area.

Data-derived climate profile
How Royal Palm Ranger Station's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · wet · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Royal Palm Ranger Station. Cooling totals 4,159 degree days, more than double the 158 heating measure, and the 16.9°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
Warm-season demand is paired with a wet annual normal: 57.4 inches of precipitation at Royal Palm Ranger Station. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. The month-by-month bars distinguish a concentrated wet season from moisture spread across the calendar.
Royal Palm Ranger Station's 16.9°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 76°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Royal Palm Ranger Station. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Royal Palm Ranger Station's primary station, so the summer figures are a thirty-year average rather than a ceiling: individual years have run hotter and will again. For Royal Palm Ranger Station that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Royal Palm Ranger Station's primary station: ROYAL PALM RS (USC00087760). 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 Royal Palm 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 Royal Palm Ranger Station comes from its primary NOAA station record.
