The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 85°F around July 28, short of 90°F on every date, while 229 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 8°F near December 25.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 14, then returns to freezing around September 29, covering 229 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
August 13 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 39°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Tizer Gardens Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 229 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.
Day-to-night contrast is extreme by national standards — the widest normal daily swing reaches about 39°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.
Tizer Gardens earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Tizer Gardens spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 33% of the annual total and December through February 14%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Tizer Gardens has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 41°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: June averages 3.1" and January 0.8". The three wettest months together take 44% 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 Tizer Gardens's climate pattern fits together
heating led · dry · mid swing
Tizer Gardens's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 8,802 annual heating degree days against 75 for cooling. Its 41.0°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 79 days are frost-free in a normal year. That short interval is consistent with the cold-season signal, but the measure does not predict the exact first or last freeze in any one year.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Tizer Gardens's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 41.0°F. The annual average is 41°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Tizer Gardens's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 17.8 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 Tizer Gardens'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 Tizer Gardens, 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 Tizer Gardens's primary station: TIZER GARDENS (USC00248239). 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 Tizer Gardens; 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 Tizer Gardens comes from its primary NOAA station record.
