The year, day by day
Borger works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 95°F by July 14 and hold at or above 90°F on 95 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 96 dates, bottoming at 26°F around January 1.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 3 through September 5, covering 95 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 23 to October 31.
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 28, then returns to freezing around November 25, covering 96 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 6, when 27% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is January 9 at 11%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 67 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 1 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 32°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Borger Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 95 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.

Borger runs a summer-peaked wet season
43% of Borger'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 August at 3.7", on a 41.2°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: August, July, June, taking 43% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: February at 0.6".
- 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's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 67 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 22.5" between them, or roughly 0.34 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.
Winter brings real snow to Borger
Borger averages 15.0 inches of snowfall a year, with December the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 9 days that record measurable snow. That is depth accumulating on the ground, which is why it can exceed the annual precipitation figure: precipitation counts the liquid the snow melts down to, and fresh snow is mostly air.
- Annual snowfall: 15.0 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 9 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 7% of the year's precipitation.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. The ten-to-one ratio is a convention, not a measurement: real ratios vary with temperature, so treat the share as an order of magnitude rather than an exact split.

Snow and freeze rhythm
When cold and snow define Borger
mixed demand · moderate · mid swing
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Borger's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 41.2°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's normal, at 3,445 and 1,910 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.
