The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 82°F around July 15, short of 90°F on every date, while 159 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 10°F near January 18.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 11, then returns to freezing around November 5, covering 159 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.
The widest day
May 9 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 23°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where W Bend Public Works Stands Nationally
Days and nights track unusually close together; the widest normal swing, about 23°F, is narrower than most stations record.
W Bend Public Works 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
W Bend Public Works spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 35% of the annual total and December through February 15%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. W Bend Public Works has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 52.2°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: June averages 4.4" and February 1.7". The three wettest months together take 35% 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 W Bend Public Works's climate pattern fits together
heating led · moderate · mid swing
W Bend Public Works's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,420 annual heating degree days against 532 for cooling. Its 52.2°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
W Bend Public Works's frost-free season lasts about 164 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 W Bend Public Works's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 52.2°F. The annual average is 46°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
W Bend Public Works's 35.8 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 W Bend Public Works'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 W Bend Public Works, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from W Bend Public Works's primary station: W BEND PUBLIC WORKS (USC00479052). 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 W Bend Public Works; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for W Bend Public Works comes from its primary NOAA station record.
