The year, day by day
The year in Fort Worth Nature Ctr runs from a mild 34°F around January 3 to 99°F at the peak near July 31, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 8 through September 13, covering 98 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 20 to November 6.
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 34°F around January 3.
The widest day
October 11 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 24°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Fort Worth Nature Ctr Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 98 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
Fort Worth Nature Ctr earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Fort Worth Nature Ctr spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 23% of the annual total and December through February 20%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Fort Worth Nature Ctr has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 40.3°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 4.4" and January 2.2". The three wettest months together take 34% of the year, against the 25% a perfectly flat distribution would give them.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. "Spread across the year" means neither the June-August nor the December-February share reaches 35%; it describes an average year, not the variability of any single one.

Data-derived climate profile
How Fort Worth Nature Ctr's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · moderate · mid swing
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Fort Worth Nature Ctr's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 40.3°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 Fort Worth Nature Ctr's normal, at 2,352 and 2,755 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 252 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.
Fort Worth Nature Ctr's 37.5 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Fort Worth Nature Ctr'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 Fort Worth Nature Ctr, 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 Fort Worth Nature Ctr's primary station: FT WORTH NATURE CTR (USC00413289). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The conservative exact name-and-state crosswalk finds no Census place match, so PlainClimate treats this as a station-mapped location and does not claim it is a municipality. No exact Gazetteer row for Fort Worth Nature Ctr; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Fort Worth Nature Ctr comes from its primary NOAA station record.
