Rain and snow in Wimer
Wimer gets 37 inches of rain and melted snow a year. December is the wettest month and July the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 121 days a year.
About 201 frost-free days a year

Heating and cooling a home in Wimer
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Wimer, 85% of that work is heating and 15% 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 Wimer itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Grants Pass, OR (13 mi) away. Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
