The year, day by day
The year in Whiting Field Nas South runs from a mild 42°F around January 14 to 93°F at the peak near July 27, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 3 through September 15, covering 105 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs February 24 to November 28.
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 42°F around January 14.
The widest day
November 4 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 26°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Whiting Field Nas South Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 105 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 66 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Whiting Field Nas South earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Whiting Field Nas South spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 31% of the annual total and December through February 24%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Whiting Field Nas South has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 30.5°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: July averages 7.6" and May 3.8". The three wettest months together take 31% 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 Whiting Field Nas South's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · wet · mid swing
Air-conditioning demand is the clearest thermal signal here. Whiting Field Nas South accumulates 2,911 cooling degree days, more than twice its 1,348 heating total; the monthly table shows when that imbalance builds rather than treating it as a year-round condition.
Warm-season demand is paired with a wet annual normal: 66.4 inches of precipitation at Whiting Field Nas South. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The month-by-month bars distinguish a concentrated wet season from moisture spread across the calendar.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Whiting Field Nas South's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 30.5°F. The annual average is 69°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
The frost-free window extends for about 272 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 Whiting Field Nas South'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 Whiting Field Nas South that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Whiting Field Nas South's primary station: WHITING FIELD NAS SOUTH (USW00053847). 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 Whiting Field Nas South; 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 Whiting Field Nas South comes from its primary NOAA station record.
