The year, day by day
U of GA Plt Sci works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 91°F by July 11 and hold at or above 90°F on 34 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 22 dates, bottoming at 32°F around January 16.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 1 through August 3, covering 34 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 4 to October 28.
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
Freezing normal lows persist into January 29, covering 22 dates.
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 June 22, when 37% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is October 23 at 26%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 117 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 16 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 26°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where U of GA Plt Sci Stands Nationally
The normal water year runs well above the national norm at roughly 51 inches.

U of GA Plt Sci 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. U of GA Plt Sci has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 37°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: June averages 5.2" 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.
When it rains in U of GA Plt Sci, it arrives in quantity
51.2" of precipitation falls across only about 117 wet days here, averaging 0.44 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 117 a year, 32% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.44 inches
- Most wet days
- January, about 11
- Fewest wet days
- October, about 8
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.
U of GA Plt Sci's record shows no measurable snowfall
This station measured snowfall across the 1991-2020 period and recorded none: the annual normal is 0.0 inches. That is a measured zero rather than missing data, which is a meaningful distinction here , most stations in the database simply do not report snow at all, and those pages say nothing about it.
A thirty-year normal of zero describes the typical year at this station. It is not a claim that snow has never fallen in the area.

Data-derived climate profile
How U of GA Plt Sci's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · wet · mid swing
Water is prominent even though neither heating nor cooling wholly defines the record. U of GA Plt Sci averages 51.2 inches of precipitation a year. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. 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 U of GA Plt Sci's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 37.0°F. The annual average is 61°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in U of GA Plt Sci's normal, at 2,999 and 1,718 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 226-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.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from U of GA Plt Sci'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 U of GA Plt Sci, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from U of GA Plt Sci's primary station: U OF GA PLT SCI (USC00098950). 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 U of GA Plt Sci; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
