“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 Venus
Venus gets 38 inches of rain and melted snow a year. May is the wettest month and July the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 100 days a year.
About 236 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by March 21 and the first one by November 14. That leaves about 236 frost-free days for gardens, longer than 87% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in Venus
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Venus, 51% of that work is heating and 49% is cooling.
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.
How Venus 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 Venus averaged 0.6° warmer than the 1900s. The biggest change is in January (+1.8°). The shift is smaller than in 94% 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 42° to 59°. June is the most reliable, staying within 8°.

Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Venus itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Midlothian, TX (8 mi, snow) and Burleson, TX (16 mi, frost, heat and degree days). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
