The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 90°F around July 16, short of 90°F on every date, while 249 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 8°F near December 22.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 24, then returns to freezing around September 19, 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
June 24 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 49°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Spring Valley State Park spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 23% of the annual total and December through February 30%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Spring Valley State Park has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 39.9°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: August averages 1.6" and June 0.5". The three wettest months together take 34% 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.

How Spring Valley State Park's climate pattern fits together
heating led · dry · mid swing
Spring Valley State Park's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,368 annual heating degree days against 143 for cooling. Its 39.9°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 Spring Valley State Park. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Spring Valley State Park's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 39.9°F. The annual average is 45°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Spring Valley State Park's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 13.1 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Spring Valley State Park'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. They are descriptive ranges, not an official NOAA classification or a forecast for any specific year.
The year in four calendar signals
- Warmest normal
- July
- Even at its warmest the station only averages 66°F (19°C), so no month here is hot by national standards.
- Coldest normal
- December
- The monthly mean of 26°F (-3°C) sits near freezing, so cold nights and above-freezing afternoons share the same month.
- Rainfall rhythm
- August to June
- August is typically wettest; June is driest.
- Mild-temperature window
- June through September
- Monthly means sit between 55°F and 75°F in this window. Freezing days are still reported from January through December.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Spring Valley State Park's primary station: SPRING VALLEY SP (USC00267750). 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. The reproducible method is an exact normalized name-and-state match; unresolved is an upper bound on facilities because spelling variants can be missed.
