The year, day by day
Lake Palo Pinto works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 98°F by August 1 and hold at or above 90°F on 97 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 43 dates, bottoming at 31°F around January 8.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 6 through September 10, covering 97 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 17 to November 9.
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 1, then returns to freezing around December 21, covering 43 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 22 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 28°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Lake Palo Pinto Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 97 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
Lake Palo Pinto earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Data-derived climate profile
How Lake Palo Pinto's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · mid swing
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Lake Palo Pinto's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 40.5°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 Lake Palo Pinto's normal, at 2,499 and 2,588 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 232-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.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Lake Palo Pinto's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Lake Palo Pinto'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 Lake Palo Pinto, 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 Lake Palo Pinto's primary station: LAKE PALO PINTO (USC00414979). 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 Lake Palo Pinto; 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 Lake Palo Pinto comes from its primary NOAA station record.
