“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 Green Level
Green Level gets 45 inches of rain and melted snow a year. September is the wettest month and February the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 116 days a year.
About 215 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by April 4 and the first one by November 3. That leaves about 215 frost-free days for gardens, longer than 80% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in Green Level
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Green Level, 69% of that work is heating and 31% 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.
Green Level and its neighbors
Green Level borders 1 town with climate data. January nights across them vary by 0.0°. Haw River has both the coldest January nights (29°) and the hottest July afternoons (89°). Green Level’s January low is 29° and its July high 89°.
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 Green Level itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Graham 2 Ene, NC (5 mi, snow) and Haw Rvr 1e, NC (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.
