“Wet days” have at least 0.01" of rain or melted snow. “Snow on ground” counts days with 1" or more. The 30-year range is the coldest and warmest that month’s average temperature got between 1991 and 2020.
Rain and snow in England
England gets 52 inches of rain and melted snow a year. April is the wettest month and September the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 97 days a year.
About 235 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by March 21 and the first one by November 9. That leaves about 235 frost-free days for gardens, longer than 87% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in England
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In England, 64% of that work is heating and 36% is cooling.
Degree days measure how far each day’s average temperature falls below or rises above 65°, added up over a year. Source: NOAA station normals.

Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for England itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Keo, AR (4 mi) away. Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast. Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals, 1991–2020 and 1901–2000.
