The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Frisco: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 39°F near January 25 and 87°F near August 8.
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 39°F around January 25.
The widest day
February 13 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 17°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Frisco Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 62 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 17°F.
Frisco earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.
Monthly Precipitation
Average monthly rainfall
Frisco spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 28% of the annual total and December through February 22%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Frisco has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 33.8°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: September averages 8.1" and April 4.0". 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 Frisco's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · wet · mid swing
Water is prominent even though neither heating nor cooling wholly defines the record. Frisco averages 61.6 inches of precipitation a year. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The monthly table supplies the seasonal distribution hidden by that annual total.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Frisco's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 33.8°F. The annual average is 64°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Frisco's normal, at 2,235 and 2,062 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 294 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.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Frisco'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 Frisco, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.
