The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 88°F around July 11, short of 90°F on every date, while 78 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 28°F near January 16.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into February 25, then returns to freezing around December 10, covering 78 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 July 22, when 50% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is October 30 at 28%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 135 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 8 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 29°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Table Rock 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.
Table Rock earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Table Rock spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 26% of the annual total and December through February 27%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Table Rock has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 37.4°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: January averages 6.8" and May 5.0". The three wettest months together take 29% 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.
When it rains in Table Rock, it arrives in quantity
68.5" of precipitation falls across only about 135 wet days here, averaging 0.51 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.

- about 135 a year, 37% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.51 inches
- Most wet days

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 Table Rock's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Table Rock's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 3,549 annual heating degree days against 1,333 for cooling. Its 37.4°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Table Rock's frost-free season lasts about 206 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Table Rock's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 37.4°F. The annual average is 59°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, Table Rock carries 68.5 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 Table Rock'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 Table Rock, 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 Table Rock's primary station: TABLE ROCK (USC00388472). 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 Table Rock; 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 Table Rock comes from its primary NOAA station record.
