The year, day by day
The year in Valdosta runs from a mild 39°F around January 12 to 91°F at the peak near July 18, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 24 through August 24, covering 62 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 3 to November 22.
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 39°F around January 12.
The widest day
March 12 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 25°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Valdosta's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · low swing
Temperature varies within a narrow 30.0°F band across the normal year. July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 67°F. Monthly rows still matter, but they refine a steady profile rather than reveal two climatic extremes.
Valdosta combines a compact 30.0°F annual temperature range with meaningful demand on both sides of the thermostat: 1,566 heating and 2,430 cooling degree days. The balance matters more here than either annual total in isolation.
The frost-free window extends for about 267 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.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Valdosta's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Valdosta'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 Valdosta, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Valdosta's primary station: VALDOSTA 2 S (USC00098974). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The 2024 Census Gazetteer identifies the exact name-and-state match as an incorporated place (GEOID 1378800). Match rule for Valdosta: exact normalized name + state only, no fuzzy expansion, so nearby differently spelled facilities stay unmatched.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Valdosta comes from its primary NOAA station record.
