Regional context

In Shoreview, NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 normals put January near 15°F and July near 75°F — a 60°F seasonal arc — with about 32.7 inches of precipitation over 168 rainy or snowy days.

Summer convection drives Shoreview's precipitation: June logs 4.4 inches on 16.5 rainy days, against January's 1.1 inches on 13.0 — warm-season storms carry Shoreview's moisture. It is a warm-season-wet pattern Shoreview shares with places like Arden Hills, MN, North Oaks, MN and Vadnais Heights, MN.

Shoreview reaches its last hard frost near late-May; that is the cue for kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips. Shoreview's heat-lovers — tomatoes, peppers, squash — hold off until Shoreview's frost risk clears, 10-14 days on. By early-October, frost is back in Shoreview — protect or harvest anything tender. Shoreview's low ground holds frost later into spring than Shoreview's benches, which run 3-5 days ahead.

Similar climates: Arden Hills, MN, North Oaks, MN, Vadnais Heights, MN, New Brighton, MN, Mounds View, MN.
