The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 88°F around July 16, short of 90°F on every date, while 150 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 18°F near December 24.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 1, then returns to freezing around November 4, covering 150 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.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is August 4, when 22% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is November 21 at 11%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 59 wet dates a year.
The widest day
June 26 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 28°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Sunnyside City Ctr 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 21%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Sunnyside City Ctr has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 46.1°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: September averages 2.2" and November 0.7". The three wettest months together take 38% 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 Sunnyside City Ctr's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 58 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 14.0" between them, or roughly 0.24 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Sunnyside City Ctr's limited precipitation lands
heating led · dry · mid swing
Sunnyside City Ctr's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 6,436 annual heating degree days against 646 for cooling. Its 46.1°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Sunnyside City Ctr's frost-free season lasts about 163 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Sunnyside City Ctr's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 46.1°F. The annual average is 49°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Sunnyside City Ctr's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 14.0 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.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Sunnyside City Ctr's primary station: SUNNYSIDE CITY CTR (USC00428478). 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 Sunnyside City Ctr; 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 Sunnyside City Ctr comes from its primary NOAA station record.
