The year, day by day
The year in Houston Clover Fld runs from a mild 46°F around January 7 to 95°F at the peak near August 3, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 2 through September 15, covering 106 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs February 24 to November 27.
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 46°F around January 7.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is September 4, when 37% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is May 2 at 24%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 119 wet dates a year.
The widest day
October 30 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 20°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Houston Clover Fld Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 106 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 20°F.
Houston Clover Fld earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Houston Clover Fld 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 21%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Houston Clover Fld has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry an unusually narrow 29.8°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: October averages 5.8" and March 2.8". The three wettest months together take 32% 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.
When it rains in Houston Clover Fld, it arrives in quantity
53.3" of precipitation falls across only about 119 wet days here, averaging 0.45 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 119 a year, 32% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.45 inches

A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year, and a per-day average is not a forecast of any individual storm.

Data-derived climate profile
How Houston Clover Fld's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · wet · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Houston Clover Fld. Cooling totals 3,394 degree days, more than double the 1,074 heating measure, and the 29.8°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
Warm-season demand is paired with a wet annual normal: 53.3 inches of precipitation at Houston Clover Fld. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The month-by-month bars distinguish a concentrated wet season from moisture spread across the calendar.
Houston Clover Fld's 29.8°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 71°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
With about 330 frost-free days, the calendar is constrained more by sustained heat than by freeze timing. This does not measure crop suitability or soil moisture; it only reports the NOAA-derived frost-free window for Houston Clover Fld.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Houston Clover Fld's primary station, so the summer figures are a thirty-year average rather than a ceiling: individual years have run hotter and will again. For Houston Clover Fld that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Houston Clover Fld's primary station: HOUSTON CLOVER FLD (USW00012975). 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 Houston Clover Fld; 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 Houston Clover Fld comes from its primary NOAA station record.
