The year, day by day
The year in Mathis runs from a mild 44°F around January 7 to 96°F at the peak near August 7, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from May 29 through September 16, covering 111 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs February 15 to December 2.
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 44°F around January 7.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is September 9, when 30% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 30 at 15%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 82 wet dates a year.
The widest day
August 7 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 23°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Mathis Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 111 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
Days and nights track unusually close together; the widest normal swing, about 23°F, is narrower than most stations record.
Mathis earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Mathis spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 27% of the annual total and December through February 16%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Mathis has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry an unusually narrow 29.5°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: September averages 3.8" and February 1.2". The three wettest months together take 35% 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.
How Mathis's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 82 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 27.5" between them, or roughly 0.34 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.
Mathis's record shows no measurable snowfall
This station measured snowfall across the 1991-2020 period and recorded none: the annual normal is 0.0 inches. That is a measured zero rather than missing data, which is a meaningful distinction here , most stations in the database simply do not report snow at all, and those pages say nothing about it.
A thirty-year normal of zero describes the typical year at this station. It is not a claim that snow has never fallen in the area.

Data-derived climate profile
How Mathis's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · moderate · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Mathis. Cooling totals 3,323 degree days, more than double the 1,078 heating measure, and the 29.5°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
Mathis's 27.5 inches of annual precipitation falls in PlainClimate's middle band, so “wet” or “dry” is not the leading description. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. Temperature balance and the calendar distribution carry more information than the annual moisture label alone.
Temperature varies within a narrow 29.5°F band across the normal year. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 71°F. Monthly rows still matter, but they refine a steady profile rather than reveal two climatic extremes.
The frost-free window extends for about 326 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 Mathis'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 Mathis that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.
