Climate Insight: Wilbur, WA
An annual average temperature of 46°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 58°F to a mean daily low of 33°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Wilbur, Washington. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00459238 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Anyone planning to live, garden, or travel in Wilbur should weigh precipitation alongside temperature: the annual average runs 12.5 inches, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 113 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near June 1 and the first fall freeze near September 22. And on the energy front, 7,346 heating degree days and 293 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Wilbur scores 54/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. For planning purposes, look to the monthly tables above: shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows, summer brings July-driven heat, and deep winter brings January-driven cold. Treat every figure here as a thirty-year average rather than a forecast - individual years routinely run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
