The year, day by day
Denver City works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 93°F by June 22 and hold at or above 90°F on 83 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 95 dates, bottoming at 27°F around January 1.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 4 through August 25, covering 83 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 20 to November 2.
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 27, then returns to freezing around November 25, covering 95 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 May 29, when 18% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is April 14 at 10%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 51 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 5 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 34°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Denver City 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.
Daily temperature swings run wider than most of the country, peaking near 34°F between the normal high and low.

Denver City runs a summer-peaked wet season
38% of Denver City'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 September at 2.7", on a 37.7°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: September, July, August, taking 40% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: January at 0.7".
- Winter share: 12% 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.
When it rains in Denver City, it arrives in quantity
19.0" of precipitation falls across only about 51 wet days here, averaging 0.37 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 51 a year, 14% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.37 inches
- Most wet days
- September, about 5
- Fewest wet days
- April, about 3
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, and a per-day average is not a forecast of any individual storm.
Snow reaches Denver City, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 4.9 inches of snow a year here, most likely in December. That is a real but marginal amount: enough that snow is part of the local record, not enough to define the winter.
A figure in this range usually reflects a handful of events that melt quickly rather than a season of accumulation; about 3 days a year record any measurable snow at all.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. An average across thirty years can smooth away a single heavy winter, so a small annual figure does not mean a significant snowfall is impossible.

Data-derived climate profile
How Denver City's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · dry · mid swing
Local precipitation is sparse in this otherwise mixed profile. The station reports 19.1 inches annually, within PlainClimate's dry band. Annual snowfall totals 4.9 inches. 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 Denver City's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 37.7°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 Denver City's normal, at 3,265 and 1,666 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 211-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 Denver City'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 Denver City, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.
