The year, day by day
Borger Hutchinson County works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 96°F by July 19 and hold at or above 90°F on 83 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 89 dates, bottoming at 27°F around January 1.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 9 through August 30, covering 83 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 31 to October 27.
This counts calendar dates whose 1991–2020 normal high reaches 90°F. It is a smaller number than the 90°F+ day counts in the monthly table above, which measure how often the threshold was actually crossed in a typical year. A date can average 88°F and still exceed 90°F in half of all years.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into February 25, then returns to freezing around November 29, covering 89 dates in all.
Derived from the normal daily minimum. This is a different measure from the 50%-probability frost dates shown elsewhere on this page, which come from NOAA’s frost product.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is August 8, when 29% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is December 9 at 10%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 68 wet dates a year.
The widest day
March 29 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 28°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Borger Hutchinson County Stands Nationally
Heat is a defining feature of the normals calendar — the normal daily high reaches 90°F on roughly 83 days a year, more than four out of five ranked stations record.

Borger Hutchinson County runs a summer-peaked wet season
42% of Borger Hutchinson County's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is June at 2.8", on a 42.9°F seasonal spread. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: June, August, July, taking 42% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: February at 0.5".
- Winter share: 10% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
How Borger Hutchinson County's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 68 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 18.6" between them, or roughly 0.27 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.

Data-derived climate profile
How Borger Hutchinson County's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · dry · mid swing
Local precipitation is sparse in this otherwise mixed profile. The station reports 18.6 inches annually, within PlainClimate's dry band. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The monthly distribution matters because the total alone does not reveal the timing.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Borger Hutchinson County's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 42.9°F. The annual average is 61°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Borger Hutchinson County's normal, at 3,522 and 2,051 degree days respectively. Neither total exceeds the other by more than two to one, so the record is better read as a mixed-demand calendar than as heating-led or cooling-led.
A roughly 210-day frost-free season sits inside this mixed heating-and-cooling profile. Start and end dates matter because both sides of the thermostat register during a normal year.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Borger Hutchinson County's primary station, where heating and cooling demand are close enough that neither season sets the character on its own. On a balanced station like Borger Hutchinson County, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Borger Hutchinson County's primary station: BORGER HUTCHINSON CO AP (USW00003024). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The conservative exact name-and-state crosswalk finds no Census place match, so PlainClimate treats this as a station-mapped location and does not claim it is a municipality. No exact Gazetteer row for Borger Hutchinson County; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Borger Hutchinson County comes from its primary NOAA station record.
