Climate Chart of Lincoln, USA

Climate overview

Temperature

Temperature has a clear annual range in the monthly averages: the lowest mean is -2.8 °C in January, while the highest is 25.5 °C in July. These are monthly mean temperatures, not daytime highs, so they describe the broad monthly pattern rather than the temperature visitors should expect at a specific hour. The unweighted mean across the calendar-month means is 11.8 °C. It provides a compact year-round reference, but does not mean conditions stay near that value throughout the year or represent a day-weighted annual average.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its highest monthly average, 4.30 mm/day, in May; for plans in that month, leave room for wet-weather flexibility and carry suitable rain protection. This is an average daily amount, not a monthly rainfall total, and does not reveal how often rain falls. The lowest monthly mean daily rainfall is 0.24 mm/day in February, a conditional option for visitors prioritising lower average rainfall. The figure cannot guarantee dry days, and the unweighted mean across calendar-month means, 1.91 mm/day, is not a day-weighted annual average.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine is highest in June, at 12.26 hours/day, which may help visitors prioritising more average sunshine when planning outdoor time. At the other end of the monthly pattern, December has the lowest mean, 6.21 hours/day. Sunshine duration describes average daily hours, not day length or a guarantee of clear skies. The unweighted mean across the calendar-month sunshine averages is 9.00 hours/day per day. It gives a broad reference for the year, but does not describe any single month or imply that sunshine is evenly distributed from day to day.

Snow

Recorded mean daily snowfall is highest in February, at 4.64 mm/day; the unweighted mean across calendar-month means is 1.41 mm/day. These are average daily amounts, not monthly totals, and do not establish the number of snowy days, snow depth, snow cover or skiing conditions.
