The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 87°F around July 2, short of 90°F on every date, while 77 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 26°F near January 18.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into February 22, then returns to freezing around December 8, covering 77 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
October 14 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 25°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Samburg Wildlife Refuge Stands Nationally
The normal water year runs well above the national norm at roughly 53 inches.
Samburg Wildlife Refuge earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Samburg Wildlife Refuge 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 26%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Samburg Wildlife Refuge has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 42.4°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 5.7" and August 3.3". 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Samburg Wildlife Refuge's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Samburg Wildlife Refuge's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 4,021 annual heating degree days against 1,423 for cooling. Its 42.4°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Samburg Wildlife Refuge's frost-free season lasts about 212 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Samburg Wildlife Refuge's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 42.4°F. The annual average is 58°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, Samburg Wildlife Refuge carries 53.2 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. That distinction matters because a wet annual total can arrive as rain, snow, or a mixture at different times.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Samburg Wildlife Refuge'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 Samburg Wildlife Refuge, 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 Samburg Wildlife Refuge's primary station: SAMBURG WR (USC00408065). 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 Samburg Wildlife Refuge; 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 Samburg Wildlife Refuge comes from its primary NOAA station record.
