Twelve-month climate normals based on representative coordinates in Gilmer County
The climate profile for Rich Mountain Wilderness provides a detailed breakdown of monthly atmospheric averages recorded between 1991 and 2020. Data points include mean, minimum, and maximum temperatures alongside precipitation rates, relative humidity, wind speed, and daylight hours. These figures represent long-term climatological trends at a specific representative elevation rather than current weather patterns or forecasts.

Comparing twelve months of average minimum, mean, and maximum temperatures alongside daily precipitation rates.
Analyze average temperature bounds, daily precipitation rates, humidity, wind, and calculated daylight across the calendar year.

See two months side by side and how much they differ. Both use the same 1991–2020 climate normals and NASA POWER data point as the table above, so they show typical conditions, not a forecast.
