The year, day by day
Granbury works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 98°F by July 28 and hold at or above 90°F on 98 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 41 dates, bottoming at 30°F around January 4.
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 19 to November 7.
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 January 29, then returns to freezing around December 20, covering 41 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.
The widest day
January 31 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 27°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Granbury 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.
Granbury 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
Granbury spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 24% of the annual total and December through February 20%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Granbury has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 41.3°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 4.2" and July 1.9". 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 Granbury's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · moderate · mid swing
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Granbury's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 41.3°F. The annual average is 65°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Heating and cooling both register in Granbury's normal, at 2,598 and 2,559 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 230-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.
Granbury's 35.2 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 Granbury'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 Granbury, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.
