The year, day by day
The year in Robstown runs from a mild 47°F around January 6 to 97°F at the peak near August 9, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from May 25 through September 26, covering 125 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs February 5 to December 14.
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 47°F around January 6.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is September 10, when 28% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 27 at 14%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 72 wet dates a year.
The widest day
October 14 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 22°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Robstown Stands Nationally
Summers here run among the most heat-heavy normals calendars in the country: on about 125 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 22°F, is narrower than most stations record.
Robstown earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Robstown spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 28% of the annual total and December through February 15%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Robstown has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry an unusually narrow 29°F seasonal spread.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: September averages 5.0" and February 1.5". The three wettest months together take 37% 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 Robstown, it arrives in quantity
31.1" of precipitation falls across only about 72 wet days here, averaging 0.43 inches each. Fewer days carry more water: the year's total is delivered in comparatively heavy events rather than persistent damp.
- Days with measurable precipitation
- about 72 a year, 20% of all days
- Average depth per wet day
- 0.43 inches
- Most wet days
- September, about 9
- Fewest wet days
- July, about 5
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.
Snow reaches Robstown, but rarely amounts to much
The normals record 0.2 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 0 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 Robstown's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · moderate · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in Robstown. Cooling totals 3,787 degree days, more than double the 821 heating measure, and the 29.0°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
Robstown's 31.1 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 29.0°F band across the normal year. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 73°F. Monthly rows still matter, but they refine a steady profile rather than reveal two climatic extremes.
With about 332 frost-free days, the calendar is constrained more by sustained heat than by freeze timing. This does not measure crop suitability or soil moisture; it only reports the NOAA-derived frost-free window for Robstown.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Robstown'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 Robstown that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.
