“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 Hanna
Hanna gets 37 inches of rain and melted snow a year. June is the wettest month and January the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 108 days a year.
About 180 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by April 20 and the first one by October 20. That leaves about 180 frost-free days for gardens, longer than 53% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in Hanna
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Hanna, 86% of that work is heating and 14% 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.
Hanna and its neighbors
Hanna borders 6 towns with climate data. January nights across them vary by 0.2°. Zuma has the coldest January nights (14°) and Hampton the hottest July afternoons (85°). Hanna’s January low is 15° and its July high 85°.
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 Hanna itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Geneseo, IL (7 mi) away. Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
