Climate in Palm Bay: timing your windows job
We use NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals for Palm Bay (5 miles from the city center). These are 30-year monthly averages, not forecasts.
September through May is the stretch where exterior installation runs into the fewest weather problems in Palm Bay (9 of 12 months). June, July and August have an average daytime high of 90°F or more.
Palm Bay gets about 56 inches of precipitation in a normal year. The wettest months are June, August and September (8.0 inches in September). Inside the workable window, February and December are the driest, at 2.4 and 2.5 inches. The station averages about 102 days a year at 90°F or above.
Does the season change the price? Probably, but we do not have a sourced seasonal price curve, so the estimator shows a year-round figure and does not adjust by month. When you collect quotes, ask whether scheduling in a slower month gets a better rate.

Palm Bay labor market for windows
Wages are the part of this estimate that changes most from town to town. 3 trades carry the job here, and each is compared with its US median. The weighted result for Palm Bay is 0.77 times the national level.
For glaziers (47-2121, weighted 50%) the local median is $20.00 an hour, which is 27% below the national $27.44. The middle half of them earn between $13.00 and $26.19 an hour. BLS counts 130 of them working in the area, 5.3 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 3.8), so the local bench is deeper than average.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 40%) the local median is $22.97 an hour, which is 21% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $19.09 and $27.83 an hour. BLS counts 680 of them working in the area, 27.7 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is thinner than average.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 10% of the weighting: a median of $21.83 an hour, 8% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.09 and $27.64 an hour. About 2,600 work in the metro. That is 106.0 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
Quotes come from real crews, not medians. If the glaziers on your job are paid at the 75th percentile ($26.19 an hour) instead of the median, the labor line grows by about $300. At the 25th percentile ($13.00) it shrinks by about $340. The total moves by 3.4% or 3.8%, so wages alone rarely explain a quote that is far outside our range.
For context on the local economy, BLS counts 245,170 jobs in the Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville area. That makes it the 104th largest of the 300 metros we cover, with 0.16% of US employment.
