The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 87°F around July 25, short of 90°F on every date, while 249 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest -2°F near January 17.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 18, then returns to freezing around September 13, covering 249 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
July 29 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 44°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Sage's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Sage's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 9,659 annual heating degree days against 58 for cooling. Its 51.6°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 Sage. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Sage's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 51.6°F. The annual average is 39°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Sage'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 Sage'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 Sage, 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 Sage's primary station: SAGE 4 NNW (USC00487955). 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 Sage; 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 Sage 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.
