Evansville, IN 47732 Frost Dates
Evansville, IN: when does the frost end?
The last spring frost here typically falls around 04/04, about 219 days from today. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 10/29, roughly 206 days after the last spring frost.
Evansville sits in USDA Zone 7a (0 to 5°F average annual minimum). The dates above are NOAA's 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting station, a 30-year average, not a forecast.
Stretching the season past the first frost
With roughly 9 weeks until Evansville's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.
Why 04/04 isn't a guarantee
04/04 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 03/22 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 04/19 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
