The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Skyline Ridge Preserve: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 40°F near December 11 and 81°F near August 23.
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 40°F around December 11.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is February 17, when 49% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 25 at 4%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 99 wet dates a year.
The widest day
June 25 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 24°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Skyline Ridge Preserve's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 57% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 1%. 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 22.7°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- December, 8.4"
- Driest month
- July, 0.0"
- Wettest three months
- December, February, January (57% 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.
When it rains in Skyline Ridge Preserve, it arrives in quantity
42.2" of precipitation falls across only about 98 wet days here, averaging 0.43 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 98 a year, 27% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.43 inches

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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Skyline Ridge Preserve's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · low swing
Heating is the larger measured load in Skyline Ridge Preserve, at 3,574 degree days versus 725 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 22.7°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.
The frost-free window extends for about 269 days. That is a long calendar measure, but it is not a forecast and does not combine heat, rainfall, soil, or local elevation into a planting recommendation.
Temperature varies within a narrow 22.7°F band across the normal year. August and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 57°F. Monthly rows still matter, but they refine a steady profile rather than reveal two climatic extremes.
Skyline Ridge Preserve's 42.2 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Skyline Ridge Preserve'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 Skyline Ridge Preserve, 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 Skyline Ridge Preserve's primary station: SKYLINE RIDGE PRESERVE (USC00048273). 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 Skyline Ridge Preserve; 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 Skyline Ridge Preserve comes from its primary NOAA station record.
