“Wet days” have at least 0.01" of rain or melted snow. “Snow on ground” counts days with 1" or more. The 30-year range is the coldest and warmest that month’s average temperature got between 1991 and 2020.
Rain and snow in B and E
B and E gets 21 inches of rain and melted snow a year. September is the wettest month and February the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 59 days a year.
About 321 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by January 31 and the first one by December 17. That leaves about 321 frost-free days for gardens, longer than 96% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in B and E
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In B and E, 16% of that work is heating and 84% 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.
B and E and its neighbors
B and E borders 1 town with climate data. January nights across them vary by 0.0°. La Puerta has both the coldest January nights (48°) and the hottest July afternoons (99°). B and E’s January low is 48° and its July high 99°.
Temperatures and rain come from NOAA’s 5 km grid, so each town gets its own value.
How B and E compares
Compared with every U.S. town and city on TownTapestry, each counted once.
Warmer than it used to be
The last 30 years in B and E averaged 1.3° warmer than the 1900s. The biggest change is in February (+2.3°). The shift is larger than in 60% of U.S. towns.

How much a month can swing
A normal is an average, and real years wander around it. February swings the most: between 1991 and 2020 its average temperature ranged from 57° to 72°. August is the most reliable, staying within 6°.

Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for B and E itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Rio Grande City, TX (4 mi) away. Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
