The year, day by day
Odessa Schlemeyer Fld works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 96°F by July 30 and hold at or above 90°F on 104 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 38 dates, bottoming at 31°F around January 1.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from May 23 through September 3, covering 104 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs March 13 to November 7.
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 January 22, then returns to freezing around December 16, covering 38 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 September 20, when 19% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is January 1 at 9%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 46 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 6 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 29°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Odessa Schlemeyer Fld Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 104 days a year the normal daily high itself reaches 90°F — a count fewer than one station in ten exceeds.
A drier-than-most normal water year — around 13 inches, below what four out of five ranked stations collect.

Odessa Schlemeyer Fld spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 33% of the annual total and December through February 13%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Odessa Schlemeyer Fld has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a 38.5°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: September averages 1.9" and December 0.6". The three wettest months together take 39% 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 Odessa Schlemeyer Fld's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 46 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 12.9" between them, or roughly 0.28 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.

Scarce-water calendar
Where Odessa Schlemeyer Fld's limited precipitation lands
mixed demand · dry · mid swing
Local precipitation is sparse in this otherwise mixed profile. The station reports 12.9 inches annually, within PlainClimate's dry band. Snowfall is not added to the interpretation because its annual value is missing. The monthly distribution matters because the total alone does not reveal the timing.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Odessa Schlemeyer Fld's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 38.5°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 Odessa Schlemeyer Fld's normal, at 2,512 and 2,478 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 237-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.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Odessa Schlemeyer Fld's primary station: ODESSA SCHLEMEYER FLD (USW00003031). 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 Odessa Schlemeyer 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 Odessa Schlemeyer Fld comes from its primary NOAA station record.
