Weather and Building Across the State

Heat

Montgomery, Prattville, Millbrook and 1 other listed place share the most hot days of all 113 Alabama places listed here: about 93 days a year at or above 90°F (NOAA normals, Montgomery Airport, AL station). 87 of 113 listed places reach 90°F on 60 or more days a year. Summer servicing and hand-wash water are the planning points for most of the state.

Freezing Nights and Snow

Fort Payne and Rainsville share the most freezing nights of all 113 Alabama places listed here: about 78 nights a year at or below 32°F (NOAA normals, Valley Head 1 SSW, AL station). None of the 113 listed places average 120 or more freezing nights, when water-carrying units need winterizing or heat for months at a time. Birmingham, Hoover, Vestavia Hills and 24 other listed places share the most snowfall of the 34 listed Alabama places with this figure: about 1 inches of snow a year (NOAA normals, Birmingham Airport, AL station). None of the 34 places with snowfall normals average 20 inches or more, enough to plan for a plowed path to the units.

Rain

Mobile, Prichard, Saraland and 4 other listed places share the most precipitation of all 113 Alabama places listed here: about 67 inches of precipitation a year (NOAA normals, Mobile, AL station). All 113 listed places get 46 inches or more, or 12 or more days with an inch, so firm ground for units and ADA routes matters.

New and Older Housing

Foley has the highest share of recent housing of the 92 listed Alabama places with this figure: 33.1% of housing units built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024). 37 of 92 listed places are above the U.S. share of 11.4%. That describes the housing stock, not current permits, but it shows where new-home construction has been concentrated; OSHA's toilet table applies to every one of those job sites. Midfield has the oldest housing of the 111 listed Alabama places with this figure: a median year built of 1958 (ACS 2020–2024). 14 of 111 listed places have a median year built of 1970 or earlier, where renovation crews in existing buildings are the usual job site.

Climate Regions

Listed places by DOE Building America climate region (county-level, PNNL guide to IECC 2021 zones): Mixed-Humid (81), Hot-Humid (32). A state spanning several regions means the right advice depends on the city, which is why each city page has its own figures.

Shoreline Places

3 of 113 listed places have a Census reference point within 5 km (about 3 miles) of the shoreline in the TIGER coastline layer, which includes Great Lakes shores. Beach and waterfront sites need a firm approach for trucks and a firm route for ADA units.

Who Handles Event and Street-Use Rules

Of the 113 Alabama places listed here, 101 are incorporated cities, towns, villages or boroughs and 12 are Census-designated places, unincorporated communities without a municipal government. The rule of thumb for an event on public land or a unit on a street or sidewalk: in an incorporated place, ask the city, town, village or borough government; in an unincorporated community, ask the county. We do not say whether a permit is needed; each city page names who to ask.
