The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 81°F around July 24, short of 90°F on every date, while 139 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 11°F near January 26.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 5, then returns to freezing around November 19, covering 139 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.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is May 18, when 41% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 26 at 29%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 129 wet dates a year.
The widest day
September 4 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 20°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Woodland spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 23% of the annual total and December through February 24%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Woodland has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 50.5°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: October averages 5.3" and February 3.1". The three wettest months together take 32% 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 Woodland, it arrives in quantity
47.6" of precipitation falls across only about 129 wet days here, averaging 0.37 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.

- about 129 a year, 35% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.37 inches

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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Woodland's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · mid swing
Woodland's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 7,174 annual heating degree days against 498 for cooling. Its 50.5°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Woodland's frost-free season lasts about 188 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Woodland's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 50.5°F. The annual average is 47°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Alongside its heating load, Woodland carries 47.6 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 Woodland'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 Woodland, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
