Climate Insight: Choke Canyon Dam, TX

The NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals describe Choke Canyon Dam, Texas as a location with an annual average temperature of 71°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 81°F to a mean daily low of 60°F. August is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. These thirty-year averages, computed from station USC00411720, smooth out year-to-year variability and give a baseline expectation for typical conditions in any given month.

Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Choke Canyon Dam receives roughly 26.5 inches of precipitation each year, with seasonal snowfall possible. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate, with the last spring freeze near February 8 and the first fall freeze near December 6. For energy use, 1,275 heating degree days and 3,317 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.

On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Choke Canyon Dam scores 92/100 (Excellent), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows — shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for August-driven heat, or deep winter for January-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
