Plumas National Forest Monthly Climate Normals: Long Term Atmospheric Averages and Trends

Name: Plumas National Forest monthly climate normals
Creator: NASA POWER

The climate profile for Plumas National Forest provides long term atmospheric measurements based on the 1991 to 2020 period. Monthly averages reflect data from a single representative coordinate at 1618.77 meters elevation, documenting fluctuations in temperature, precipitation rates, relative humidity, wind speed, and daylight hours throughout the year. These records serve as a foundational climate baseline for this California protected landscape, distinctly separating historical averages from contemporary daily weather patterns.
