The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 82°F around July 14, short of 90°F on every date, while 72 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 27°F near January 23.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into February 23, then returns to freezing around December 14, covering 72 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 May 3, when 40% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is September 13 at 28%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 128 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 8 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 21°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Wartrace Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 60 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 21°F.
Wartrace earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Wartrace spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 24% of the annual total and December through February 29%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Wartrace has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 37.6°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: December averages 6.5" and October 3.6". The three wettest months together take 30% 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 Wartrace, it arrives in quantity
60.3" of precipitation falls across only about 127 wet days here, averaging 0.47 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 127 a year, 35% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.47 inches
- Most wet days
- May, about 12
- 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 Wartrace's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Wartrace's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 4,024 annual heating degree days against 1,012 for cooling. Its 37.6°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Wartrace's frost-free season lasts about 215 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 Wartrace's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 37.6°F. The annual average is 57°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, Wartrace carries 60.3 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. That distinction matters because a wet annual total can arrive as rain, snow, or a mixture at different times.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Wartrace'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 Wartrace, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
