The year, day by day
The year in Mckinney Muni runs from a mild 33°F around January 4 to 97°F at the peak near August 1, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 10 through September 10, covering 93 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 25 to November 5.
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 33°F around January 4.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is May 10, when 33% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 24 at 16%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 91 wet dates a year.
The widest day
October 9 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 24°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Mckinney Muni Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 93 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
Mckinney Muni earns one nationally notable standing (outer quintile) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations, middle-of-the-pack metrics stay silent here.

Mckinney Muni spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 19% of the annual total and December through February 23%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Mckinney Muni has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 39.7°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: May averages 4.8" and August 1.7". The three wettest months together take 33% 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 Mckinney Muni, it arrives in quantity
38.3" of precipitation falls across only about 90 wet days here, averaging 0.42 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.

- about 90 a year, 25% 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 Mckinney Muni's climate pattern fits together
mixed demand · moderate · mid swing
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Mckinney Muni's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 39.7°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 Mckinney Muni's normal, at 2,498 and 2,531 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 238-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.
Mckinney Muni's 38.3 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 Mckinney Muni'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 Mckinney Muni, the bands are descriptive ranges rather than an official NOAA classification or a forecast.

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 Mckinney Muni; 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 Mckinney Muni comes from its primary NOAA station record.
