The year, day by day
Jacksboro works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 98°F by July 31 and hold at or above 90°F on 92 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 54 dates, bottoming at 29°F around January 7.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 9 through September 8, covering 92 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 23 to November 4.
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 February 7, then returns to freezing around December 16, covering 54 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.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is May 25, when 27% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 19 at 13%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 72 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 3 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 27°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Jacksboro spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 25% of the annual total and December through February 17%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Jacksboro has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 41.1°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 4.3" and January 1.5". The three wettest months together take 37% 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 Jacksboro, it arrives in quantity
32.7" of precipitation falls across only about 71 wet days here, averaging 0.46 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.

- about 71 a year, 19% of all days

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 Jacksboro's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · moderate · mid swing
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Jacksboro's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 41.1°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 Jacksboro's normal, at 2,865 and 2,345 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 224-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.
Jacksboro's 32.7 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 Jacksboro'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 Jacksboro, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.
