Rain and snow in Park View
Park View gets 38 inches of rain and melted snow a year. June is the wettest month and January the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 94 days a year.
About 174 frost-free days a year

Heating and cooling a home in Park View
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Park View, 88% of that work is heating and 12% is cooling, so the furnace matters far more than the air conditioner.
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 Park View itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at De Witt, IA (8 mi, snow) and Davenport, IA (6 mi, frost, heat and degree days). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
