Rain and snow in Cameron
Cameron gets 60 inches of rain and melted snow a year. August is the wettest month and March the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 103 days a year.
About 323 frost-free days a year

Heating and cooling a home in Cameron
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Cameron, 31% of that work is heating and 69% is cooling, so air conditioning is the bigger bill.
Degree days measure how far each day’s average temperature falls below or rises above 65°, added up over a year. Source: NOAA station normals.

Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Cameron itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Hackberry 8 Ssw, LA (9 mi) away. Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
