Data-derived climate profile
How Saratoga's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Saratoga's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,891 annual heating degree days against 142 for cooling. Its 43.7°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 102 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.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Saratoga's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 43.7°F. The annual average is 44°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Saratoga'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 Saratoga'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 Saratoga, 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 Saratoga's primary station: SARATOGA (USC00487990). 2 NOAA stations are mapped to the Saratoga area; the primary station's record is used for consistency. For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The 2024 Census Gazetteer identifies the exact name-and-state match as an incorporated place (GEOID 5668685). Match rule for Saratoga: exact normalized name + state only, no fuzzy expansion, so nearby differently spelled facilities stay unmatched.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Saratoga comes from its primary NOAA station record.
