The year, day by day
The year in Welder Wildlife Foundation runs from a mild 43°F around January 4 to 94°F at the peak near August 7, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 6 through September 12, covering 99 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs February 17 to December 5.
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 43°F around January 4.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is September 10, when 30% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 31 at 12%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 69 wet dates a year.
The widest day
December 11 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 23°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Welder Wildlife Foundation Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 99 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
Days and nights track unusually close together; the widest normal swing, about 23°F, is narrower than most stations record.
Welder Wildlife Foundation earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Welder Wildlife Foundation spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 28% of the annual total and December through February 17%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Welder Wildlife Foundation has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry an unusually narrow 29.1°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: September averages 5.7" and April 1.9". The three wettest months together take 36% 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 Welder Wildlife Foundation, it arrives in quantity
36.4" of precipitation falls across only about 68 wet days here, averaging 0.54 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 68 a year, 19% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.54 inches
- Most wet days
- September, about 10
- Fewest wet days
- April, about 4
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.
Welder Wildlife Foundation's record shows no measurable snowfall
This station measured snowfall across the 1991-2020 period and recorded none: the annual normal is 0.0 inches. That is a measured zero rather than missing data, which is a meaningful distinction here , most stations in the database simply do not report snow at all, and those pages say nothing about it.
A thirty-year normal of zero describes the typical year at this station. It is not a claim that snow has never fallen in the area.

Data-derived climate profile
How Welder Wildlife Foundation's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · moderate · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Welder Wildlife Foundation. Cooling totals 3,148 degree days, more than double the 1,129 heating measure, and the 29.1°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
Welder Wildlife Foundation's 36.4 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
Temperature varies within a narrow 29.1°F band across the normal year. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 71°F. Monthly rows still matter, but they refine a steady profile rather than reveal two climatic extremes.
The frost-free window extends for about 280 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 Welder Wildlife Foundation's primary station, so the summer figures are a thirty-year average rather than a ceiling: individual years have run hotter and will again. For Welder Wildlife Foundation that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.

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 Welder Wildlife Foundation; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
