The year, day by day
The year in Valdosta Rgnl runs from a mild 38°F around January 11 to 92°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 June 14 through September 2, covering 81 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs February 29 to November 20.
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 38°F around January 11.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is August 3, when 47% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is April 24 at 23%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 118 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 29 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 28°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Valdosta Rgnl Stands Nationally
Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 81 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.

Valdosta Rgnl runs a summer-peaked wet season
36% of Valdosta Rgnl's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is June at 7.1", on a 30.5°F seasonal spread. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: June, July, August, taking 36% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: November at 2.5".
- Winter share: 21% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
When it rains in Valdosta Rgnl, it arrives in quantity
48.4" of precipitation falls across only about 118 wet days here, averaging 0.41 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 118 a year, 32% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.41 inches
- Most wet days
- August, about 15
- Fewest wet days

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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Valdosta Rgnl's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · wet · mid swing
Water is prominent even though neither heating nor cooling wholly defines the record. Valdosta Rgnl averages 48.4 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.
August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Valdosta Rgnl's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 30.5°F. The annual average is 67°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Valdosta Rgnl's normal, at 1,649 and 2,410 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 256 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 Valdosta Rgnl'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 Rgnl, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

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 Valdosta Rgnl; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
