The year, day by day
Plainview Wtr Productn works both ends of the calendar. Normal highs climb to 92°F by July 29 and hold at or above 90°F on 61 dates, then normal lows drop to freezing or below on 111 dates, bottoming at 24°F around January 8.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from June 21 through August 20, covering 61 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs April 2 to October 26.
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 March 7, then returns to freezing around November 18, covering 111 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 June 2, when 24% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is January 11 at 8%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 59 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 3 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 31°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Plainview Wtr Productn runs a summer-peaked wet season
40% of Plainview Wtr Productn's yearly precipitation falls in June, July and August alone, against the 25% an evenly spread year would give those three months. The wettest month is June at 3.0", on a 40.9°F seasonal spread. Warm-season convection and, across the Southwest, the North American monsoon produce this shape: rain arrives in short heavy bursts during the hottest part of the year rather than as long cool-season soaking.
- Wettest three months: June, May, August, taking 42% of the annual total between them.
- Driest month: February at 0.5".
- Winter share: 10% falls in December, January and February.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A summer-peaked label means the June-August share reaches 35%; it describes timing across an average year, not any single season, and says nothing about how heavy an individual storm can be.
How Plainview Wtr Productn's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 59 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 18.4" between them, or roughly 0.31 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.
Snow reaches Plainview Wtr Productn, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 7.0 inches of snow a year here, most likely in December. That is a real but marginal amount: enough that snow is part of the local record, not enough to define the winter.
A figure in this range usually reflects a handful of events that melt quickly rather than a season of accumulation; about 5 days a year record any measurable snow at all.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. An average across thirty years can smooth away a single heavy winter, so a small annual figure does not mean a significant snowfall is impossible.

Data-derived climate profile
How Plainview Wtr Productn's climate pattern fits together
heating led · dry · mid swing
Plainview Wtr Productn's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 3,866 annual heating degree days against 1,548 for cooling. Its 40.9°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Plainview Wtr Productn's frost-free season lasts about 201 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Plainview Wtr Productn's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 40.9°F. The annual average is 59°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
Plainview Wtr Productn's cold-season load does not imply a wet climate. Annual precipitation is 18.4 inches, which places the station in PlainClimate's dry range. Annual snowfall totals 7.0 inches. The snowfall and rainfall fields should be read separately rather than inferred from temperature.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Plainview Wtr Productn's primary station, so the winter figures are a thirty-year average and not a floor: a single hard season can run well below them. Treat each band as a descriptive range for Plainview Wtr Productn, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Plainview Wtr Productn's primary station: PLAINVIEW WTR PRODUCTN (USC00417081). 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 Plainview Wtr Productn; 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 Plainview Wtr Productn comes from its primary NOAA station record.
