Climate Insight: Falcon Dam, TX
An annual average temperature of 77°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 89°F to a mean daily low of 64°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Falcon Dam, Texas. August is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00413060 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. Falcon Dam sees about 19.5 inches of precipitation a year, with negligible snowfall. The frost-free season averages -8 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near January 9 and the first fall freeze near January 1. On the energy side, 608 heating degree days and 4,846 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Falcon Dam scores 69/100 (Good), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows in the monthly tables above, summer brings August-driven heat, and winter brings January-driven cold - use that rhythm for planning. These figures are thirty-year averages rather than forecasts, so a specific year may still run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than what's shown.
