The year, day by day
Weiser works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 97°F by July 24 and hold at or above 90°F on 52 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 130 dates, bottoming at 22°F around December 26.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from July 2 through August 22, covering 52 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs May 3 to October 7.
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 10, then returns to freezing around November 2, covering 130 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 December 15, when 39% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 26 at 8%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 91 wet dates a year.
The widest day
July 23 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 34°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Weiser Stands Nationally
A drier-than-most normal water year — around 14 inches, below what four out of five ranked stations collect.
Daily temperature swings run wider than most of the country, peaking near 34°F between the normal high and low.
Weiser earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Weiser's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 42% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 12%. That is the cool-season-dominant pattern of the West Coast and the higher inland West, where storm tracks swing south in winter and summer turns dry; the thermometer meanwhile shows a wide 48.4°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
- Wettest month
- December, 2.4"
- Driest month
- August, 0.3"
- Wettest three months
- December, January, February (42% of the year)
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A cool-season label means the December-February share reaches 35%. Where snow falls, the monthly figures above report liquid-equivalent precipitation, so a wet winter month is not necessarily a rainy one.
Weiser is dry, and what does fall arrives gently
Only about 90 days a year record measurable precipitation here, 25% of the calendar, and they carry 13.4" between them. At roughly 0.15 inches on an average wet day, this is not the damp drizzle of a marine climate; it is an arid record in which precipitation is both uncommon and light when it appears.
The wettest month by count is December at about 12 wet days; the driest is August at about 3.
A low per-event average in a dry record is a statement about typical days only. Arid regions can still take a large share of a year's total from a single convective storm, which a normal cannot show.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, not the extremes within it.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Weiser's limited precipitation lands
heating led · dry · mid swing
Weiser's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 5,616 annual heating degree days against 1,008 for cooling. Its 48.4°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Weiser's frost-free season lasts about 173 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 Weiser's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 48.4°F. The annual average is 52°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Weiser's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 13.4 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.

August is typically driest; arid stations are defined by when water is absent, not by a four-season grid.
