The year, day by day
The year in Woodland Hills Pierce College runs from a mild 42°F around December 11 to 98°F at the peak near August 18, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 21 through September 28, covering 100 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs January 13 to December 4.
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 December 11.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is February 19, when 24% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 9 at 1%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 35 wet dates a year.
The widest day
August 24 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 37°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Woodland Hills Pierce College Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 100 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
Day-to-night contrast is extreme by national standards — the widest normal daily swing reaches about 37°F, sharper than nine in ten ranked stations see.
Woodland Hills Pierce College earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Woodland Hills Pierce College's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 67% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 1%. 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 an unusually narrow 23.6°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- February, 4.6"
- Driest month
- August, 0.0"
- Wettest three months
- February, January, March (67% 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.
When it rains in Woodland Hills Pierce College, it arrives in quantity
16.4" of precipitation falls across only about 35 wet days here, averaging 0.47 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 35 a year, 10% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.47 inches
- Most wet days
- February, about 7
- Fewest wet days
- August, about 0
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.
Woodland Hills Pierce College'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 Woodland Hills Pierce College's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · dry · low swing
Local precipitation is sparse in this otherwise mixed profile. The station reports 16.4 inches annually, within PlainClimate's dry band. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. The monthly distribution matters because the total alone does not reveal the timing.
The calendar stays thermally compact and dry. August and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar, only 23.6°F apart, while the annual precipitation total remains below PlainClimate's dry threshold. The annual average is 66°F. The monthly rows show whether that limited precipitation is spread through the year or concentrated in a shorter interval.
Woodland Hills Pierce College combines a compact 23.6°F annual temperature range with meaningful demand on both sides of the thermostat: 1,336 heating and 1,819 cooling degree days. The balance matters more here than either annual total in isolation.
Woodland Hills Pierce College has a long frost-free window of roughly 325 days, but the dry annual profile is a separate constraint. Growing-season length says when freezes are unlikely, not whether rainfall is sufficient.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Woodland Hills Pierce College's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like Woodland Hills Pierce College, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

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 Woodland Hills Pierce College; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
