Climate Insight: Abernathy, TX

An annual average temperature of 59°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 73°F to a mean daily low of 45°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Abernathy, Texas. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00410012 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.

For planning purposes, look to the monthly tables above: shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows, summer brings July-driven heat, and deep winter brings January-driven cold. Treat every figure here as a thirty-year average rather than a forecast - individual years routinely run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
