The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 88°F around August 9, short of 90°F on every date, while 84 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 27°F near January 2.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into February 29, then returns to freezing around December 8, covering 84 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.
The widest day
March 4 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 20°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Winslow Stands Nationally
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 20°F.
The normal water year runs well above the national norm at roughly 54 inches.
Winslow earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Winslow spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 25% of the annual total and December through February 19%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Winslow has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 41.4°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 6.5" and February 3.0". 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 Winslow's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Winslow's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 4,130 annual heating degree days against 1,343 for cooling. Its 41.4°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Winslow's frost-free season lasts about 214 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Winslow's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 41.4°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, Winslow carries 53.9 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 Winslow'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 Winslow, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
