The year, day by day
Vienna works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 91°F by July 27 and hold at or above 90°F on 44 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 95 dates, bottoming at 24°F around January 13.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 6 through August 18, covering 44 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 15 to October 19.
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
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 2, then returns to freezing around November 29, covering 95 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.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is April 29, when 36% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is February 1 at 22%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 99 wet dates a year.
The widest day
October 5 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 26°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Vienna spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 30% of the annual total and December through February 17%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Vienna has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 45.7°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: June averages 5.2" and February 2.2". The three wettest months together take 33% 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 Vienna, it arrives in quantity
44.9" of precipitation falls across only about 99 wet days here, averaging 0.46 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 99 a year, 27% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.46 inches
- Most wet days
- May, about 11
- 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 Vienna's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Vienna's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 4,272 annual heating degree days against 1,607 for cooling. Its 45.7°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Vienna's frost-free season lasts about 201 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Vienna's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 45.7°F. The annual average is 58°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Vienna's 44.9 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Vienna'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 Vienna, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
