“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 High Point
High Point gets 52 inches of rain and melted snow a year. July is the wettest month and November the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 110 days a year.
About 322 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by February 5 and the first one by January 1. That leaves about 322 frost-free days for gardens, longer than 96% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in High Point
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In High Point, 16% of that work is heating and 84% is cooling, so air conditioning is the bigger bill.
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.
High Point and its neighbors
High Point borders 3 towns with climate data. January nights across them vary by 0.4°. Brookridge has the coldest January nights (47°) and North Weeki Wachee the hottest July afternoons (91°). High Point’s January low is 47° and its July high 91°.
Temperatures and rain come from NOAA’s 5 km grid, so each town gets its own value.

Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for High Point itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Brooksville Chin Hill, FL (11 mi, snow) and Weeki Wachee, FL (4 mi, frost, heat and degree days). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast. Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals, 1991–2020 and 1901–2000.
