The year, day by day
The year in S Padre Island runs from a mild 54°F around January 7 to 90°F at the peak near August 17, and the normal low never reaches freezing on any date in the record.
When the heat sits
Normal highs reach 90°F from August 13 through August 29, covering 17 dates. The broader mild season, normal highs of 70°F or more, runs February 5 to December 24.
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 54°F around January 7.
The widest day
December 9 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 15°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How S Padre Island's climate pattern fits together
cooling led · low swing
Warm-season load persists through a relatively even calendar in S Padre Island. Cooling totals 3,949 degree days, more than double the 403 heating measure, and the 23.2°F seasonal range is compact rather than sharply divided.
A moisture-range label is withheld because S Padre Island's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
Temperature varies within a narrow 23.2°F band across the normal year. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 75°F. Monthly rows still matter, but they refine a steady profile rather than reveal two climatic extremes.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for S Padre Island. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from S Padre Island'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 S Padre Island that means a descriptive range only — not an official NOAA classification and not a prediction for next summer.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from S Padre Island's primary station: S PADRE IS (USC00418487). 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 S Padre Island; 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 S Padre Island comes from its primary NOAA station record. No figure on this page is typed in by an editor - each value is rendered from NOAA 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals.
