Hot months, wet months: McArthur through the year

By the 1991-2020 normals of the Carpenter weather station (16 miles from McArthur), July highs average 85°F and January lows average 22°F. Precipitation totals about 43 inches a year, with June the wettest month. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 124 times a year.

A website that changes with the season helps: winter hours, summer specials, storm-season notices, sent by email and included in the monthly fee.
