Climate Insight: Pecos, TX
An annual average temperature of 65°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 81°F to a mean daily low of 50°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Pecos, Texas. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00416893 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Beyond temperature, Pecos averages 10.1 inches of precipitation annually, predominantly as rainfall - a real factor for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. The frost-free season averages 237 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near March 18 and the first fall freeze near November 10. Turning to energy use, 2,351 heating degree days and 2,535 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Pecos scores 78/100 (Good), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. For planning purposes, look to the monthly tables above: shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows, summer brings July-driven heat, and deep winter brings January-driven cold. Treat every figure here as a thirty-year average rather than a forecast - individual years routinely run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
