The year, day by day
The year in Douglas runs from a mild 38°F around January 12 to 92°F at the peak near July 18, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 10 through August 28, covering 80 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 10 to November 13.
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.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 38°F around January 12.
The widest day
April 25 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 26°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Douglas's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · mid swing
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Douglas's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 32.5°F. The annual average is 66°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Douglas's normal, at 1,862 and 2,411 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.
The frost-free window extends for about 266 days. That is a long calendar measure, but it is not a forecast and does not combine heat, rainfall, soil, or local elevation into a planting recommendation.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Douglas's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Douglas'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 Douglas, 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 Douglas's primary station: DOUGLAS (USC00092783). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The 2024 Census Gazetteer identifies the exact name-and-state match as an incorporated place (GEOID 1323872). Match rule for Douglas: exact normalized name + state only, no fuzzy expansion, so nearby differently spelled facilities stay unmatched.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Douglas comes from its primary NOAA station record.
