The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 78°F around July 25, short of 90°F on every date, while 10 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 32°F near December 21.
The freezing stretch
Freezing normal lows set in around December 21, covering 10 dates.
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 25 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 27°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Silver Creek Falls Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 69 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Silver Creek Falls 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
Silver Creek Falls's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 41% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 6%. That is the cool-season-dominant pattern of the West Coast and the higher inland West, where storm tracks swing south in winter and summer turns dry; the thermometer meanwhile shows an unusually narrow 26.1°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- December, 11.2"
- Driest month
- July, 0.7"
- Wettest three months
- December, November, January (43% of the year)
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A cool-season label means the December-February share reaches 35%. Where snow falls, the monthly figures above report liquid-equivalent precipitation, so a wet winter month is not necessarily a rainy one.

Data-derived climate profile
How Silver Creek Falls's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · low swing
Heating is the larger measured load in Silver Creek Falls, at 5,992 degree days versus 99 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 26.1°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.
Silver Creek Falls's frost-free season lasts about 175 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
Silver Creek Falls's 26.1°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 49°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
Alongside its heating load, Silver Creek Falls carries 68.9 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 Silver Creek Falls'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 Silver Creek Falls, 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 Silver Creek Falls's primary station: SILVER CREEK FALLS (USC00357809). 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 Silver Creek Falls; 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 Silver Creek Falls comes from its primary NOAA station record.
