The year, day by day
The year in Troy runs from a mild 36°F around January 8 to 90°F at the peak near July 22, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 22 through July 30, covering 9 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 18 to November 6.
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.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 36°F around January 8.
The widest day
March 18 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 25°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Troy Stands Nationally
The normal water year runs well above the national norm at roughly 55 inches.
Troy 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
Troy spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 28% of the annual total and December through February 27%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Troy has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 31.7°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: July averages 5.5" and October 3.3". 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Troy's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · wet · mid swing
Water is prominent even though neither heating nor cooling wholly defines the record. Troy averages 54.6 inches of precipitation a year. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The monthly table supplies the seasonal distribution hidden by that annual total.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Troy's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 31.7°F. The annual average is 65°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Troy's normal, at 2,163 and 1,990 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.
The frost-free window extends for about 244 days. That is a long calendar measure, but it is not a forecast and does not combine heat, rainfall, soil, or local elevation into a planting recommendation.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Troy'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 Troy, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.
