The year, day by day
Tipton works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 98°F by July 25 and hold at or above 90°F on 100 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 75 dates, bottoming at 28°F around January 7.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from May 31 through September 7, covering 100 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 28 to October 29.
This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into February 17, then returns to freezing around December 5, covering 75 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
March 31 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 27°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Tipton Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 100 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
Tipton 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
Tipton spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 31% of the annual total and December through February 13%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Tipton has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 44.2°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 4.0" and January 1.1". The three wettest months together take 37% 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Tipton's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · moderate · mid swing
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Tipton's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 44.2°F. The annual average is 63°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Tipton's normal, at 3,263 and 2,377 degree days respectively. Neither total exceeds the other by more than two to one, so the record is better read as a mixed-demand calendar than as heating-led or cooling-led.
A roughly 217-day frost-free season sits inside this mixed heating-and-cooling profile. Start and end dates matter because both sides of the thermostat register during a normal year.
Tipton's 27.9 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 Tipton's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like Tipton, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.
